    The Vaio Z uses a regular 2.5" HDD just like any other laptop.

    But replacing it yourself voids warranty. Plus, disassembling Z to get to the disk is not recommended without service manual.

    Why would this void warranty? I replaced a HDD with SSD before in my TZ and it didn't. But i agree that the service manual is really helpful.
