Product: HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Noteb
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am running out of 500Gig of drive, and considering a 1 or 2 tb hard disk to replace my HTS725050A7E630 Hitachi HDD.

One thing I noticed is that most of the 1TB and 2TB hard disks are comming as 9.5mm instead of 7mm which is installed.

 

My question is can I put a 9.5mm HDD in my HP EliteBook Folio 9470m or I have to stick with a 7mm HDD?

 

The one I am considering to install is:
