    Can anyone help? I was getting my original HD replaced cuz it had crashed on me & I realized there was an empty secondary hard drive slot. I'm aware it'll fit a 9.5mm Hard Drive. However, I'm looking to install a 1TB Hard Drive which comes in 12.5mm. I checked the manual and it doesn't specify a maximum allowable height. Does anyone know & will I need a caddy with extended cable from newmodeus.com? Please advise. Thank you.

    Checked the manual for what? Your car??

    You've made no mention of drive maker or model, not even the maker/model of the (presumably) laptop being discussed.

    Very hard to read minds.
