What is the maximum thickness of the replacement Hard Drive/SSD.

Drew Howden - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

It takes a standard 2.5” laptop HDD/SSD. They do not vary in thickness.

TheSolderSnake -

@TheSolderSnake You might want to use google to see the variation in 2.5” laptop drive thickness before making such a confident statement. ;)
