    hey i was just wondering if this hard drive (seagate 2.5" sata 320gb 7200rpm) will fit in my Lenovo U330? it came with the 200gb drive.

    Link

    ive heard that certain 2.5" drives wont fit in certain thin laptops that require a 9mm height on the drives. whereas the one linked above is 9.5mm.

    just wanted to make sure b4 i bought it.

    also, if someone could clue me in as to how to check in the future on my own if it would fit or not (i kno most are standard but its always better to double check when in doubt right). thatd be great.

    thanks!

    There are no 9mm Drives available.

    1.8" --> 5mm/8mm
    2.5" --> 9.5mm/12.5mm

    If your notebook has a 2.5" drive, it is compatible with the Seagate ^.

    Current HDD ?

    yes, your notebook uses a 2.5"

    that will work just fine! buy it and sell the 200!
