    Hey,

    Does a 7200rpm hard drive work in an area 51 m15x? I previously thought that it did, but a technician today told me that it doesn't. He didn't really explain why though, lol. If someone could clear this up for me, I'd be grateful. Google doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere.

    Thanks!

    Any 2.5" 9.5mm hard drive will work.
