    Most laptops can take a maximum of 9.5mm which means the HDD in the link that you posted can go up to a maximum of 2TB. The 3TB and 5TB ones are 15mm high and may not fit.

    Someone with an MSI GT83VR can confirm this for you though.

    You're right, the max 9.5mm, anything thicker won't fit [​IMG]
