Solution
I have to get the same drive in there now right?
What does one do for an upgrade or if hypothetically there were no more of the original?
I looked at both, one in my bay with sata and power cables and one in the store's catalogue and they appear to be the same size. It must be an electronic reason why they are not interchangeable, correct? They look like square playing cards 1/4 inch thick not a stick of gum.
Thanks for the help?
