    All laptops can only support 2.5" HDD. 3.5" HDD are mainly for desktops only (excluding external enclosures). Should be no problem replacing it with any 2.5" SATA HDD. You should contact Zepto regarding the Blu-ray upgrade as you got it from them. Also, if I recall the Hydra A17 is a rebranded Clevo M57TU. So you can check the Sager and Clevo threads for more help.

    If you upgrade it yourself, you will probably lose your warrenty. So might wanna check with zepto about that.

    If your own zepto website is down, just go to dk.zepto.com. They will help you also if you ask nicely :)
