    Does a NP8150 need a SSD spacer when using a 7mm SSD in the main HD slot (Sata III)? I ask because the Samsung EVO is cheaper in the drive "only" model compared to the model with the spacer. Thanks

    We dont have one here so I can physically inspect but I think you'll be OK without one.

    You might want to support below it with a piece of foam or similar.

    Thanks guys. I'll forgo the EVO and get an M500 or Seagate 600 that come with the spacer and is cheaper.
