    Laptop drives are fairly standard. Did you have one in mind.

    Most laptop drives are pretty standard. There are a few like on the ThinkPad T series which a slimmer than others so they won't fit. Other times the bezel is oddly shaped which I don't think is an issue on the HEL80. Other than that it should work.
