Can the M1530 dell laptop use the new 1 terabyte western digital internal hardrive?
Q. I heard that western digital came out with a one terabyte hard drive
i want to buy it but i read this
“Of course, we can’t help but gripe that both of these boast unorthodox 12.5mm form factors, which dwarfs the standard 9.5mm-height slot found in most laptops”
I cant find out whether the m1530 dell laptop can hold a 12.5mm harddrive
anyone know? please put your sources

Western Digital, on their site (http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=685), notes:
“*750 GB and 1 TB models are 12.5 mm high and may not be compatible with all notebook systems. Consult system specifications for maximum allowable drive height before attempting to install.”
I checked the manual for the M1530 (http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/xpsm1530/en/OM/index.htm) but I could not find anything in the specifications. (not surprising since at the time this laptop was sold, there were no “over-sized” drives available) This pretty much means you will have to contact Dell directly and ask them. Frankly, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
