[T] Good question, and if the case and that was the only reason something failed then I am happy about fitting the 6G (Tosh HDD2144) that's just begging to upgrade my 50? > Were they being operated in extremely hot > conditions that the larges HDD affectewd somehow? [T] I know (most) things expand when they get hot but I don't think a 9.5mm drive would be able to expand enough on it's own to do any damage if the fit was 'reasonable' in the first place would it? Of course, the rest of the Libby would be expanding / shrinking at the same time and could make matters worse? > > Still, it seems I've read where a lot of people have bought and installed > 9.5mm HDDs recently.

[T] From what I think I have read (and I'm new to all this don't forget), one of the 'problems' seen when / after fitting 'bigger' drives is that some components get ripped off the motherboard and other joints are put under strain and then fatigue / crack / break? > Though I'm great at missing huge things that are taped to my nose.
