Replacing dummy hard drive with SSD

[Simone_Roy]

Hello, I want to replace my dummy hard drive with an SSD, the SSD that I will be buying is SanDisk SSD Plus 1TB SDSSDA-1T00. Don't know the specific dimensions for the 1TB but the 2TB version has dimensions of 69.95mm x 7mm x 100.5mm (Width x Height x Depth) for reference, so I'm guessing it will be near those dimensions.

This is also the caddy that my laptop uses if this will help.

Some additional info from HP support, says my laptop supports 7.0mm/7.2mm, 2.5 in SATA hard drives

Hi:

Below is the link to the data sheet for all Sandisk SSD Plus SSD's.

Data Sheet: SanDisk SSD PLUS (westerndigital.com)

I have the 240 GB model installed in one of my HP notebooks that supports 2.5" drives and it fit just fine, even though it indicates the width is 2.75" and not 2.5."

I have a spare Sandisk SSD Plus 240 GB drive and I took it out and measured it and it was 2.75" wide.

I compared it with an Intel SSD I have, and it was exactly the same width.

Never had a problem fitting either SSD in any of my HP notebooks.
