    Hi there,

    I bought my GT70 a little under a month ago and I am thinking of adding a secondary drive for storage. The drive in the main bay at the moment is a hitachi 7k1000 and I am looking at buying a second 7k1000 for the open bay but before I buy it I wish to know if the second bay would fit the 9.5mm drive or is a 7mm drive needed for that bay. Thanks in advance if someone knows the answer ^.^

    EDIT: Found the answer already, what sparked the confusion was seeing elsewhere someone trying to put a 12.5mm drive into the bay.

    Yep both bays are full size, the one towards the front will take a 7pm drive without spacer due to orientation too.
