Beware - some discs over 320GB are 3-platter drives and are 12.5mm thick.<BR /><BR />So check the thickness - I think WD and Seagate are Ok but check Hitachi carefully.<BR /><BR /> <img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.sony.ee/html/@0248C33DDCF34AA61B8F8F33F5AFA5BE/images/smilies/013.png" alt=":wink:" title=":wink:" /><BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 06 Feb 2009 22:56:13 GMT https://community.sony.ee/t5/pc-accessori/hard-disk-help/m-p/156458#M7841 Blencogo 2009-02-06T22:56:13Z
