    I just ordered one of these, Fedex is playing around with it now, I guess ;-)

    So, the only model that was available has a 1TB HDD, which is a touch small.

    I guess HDD space inside is limited to 9.5mm thick drives.

    Wasn't there someone who made 2TB or 3TB droves at 9.5mm thickness?


    If anyone knows, I couldn't find much. And too many stores don't even bother listing the height of their drives...

    @Niels there are 2TB 2.5" Seagate drives, both 7mm and 9.5mm variations. They are traditionally bought as external drives and then extracted, though should be available as bare drives as well, at least in USA.
