How can I tell if a hard drive will fit my laptop?


I've browsed similar questions on the website but they don't seem to solve my problem. I have a laptop, the MSI GT GT70 0ND-202US, which came with a 750GB HDD (7200RPM). All that I have managed to google about my laptop's hard drive / hard drive slot is that it's a SATA III.


I really don't understand much about hardware, so I my question is: how can I find out if another hard drive (designed for laptops) that is also SATA III will fit my laptop (to replace the current one)?


For example, would this one:


Western Digital Bare Drives 500GB WD Blue SATA III 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Notebook Hard Drive WD5000LPVX


fit?


Thank you for your time.


Answer



I don't think I've ever seen a laptop with a 3.5" drive bay, but here's confirmation anyway. This site lists the GT70 as using an HGST Travelstar. They are 2.5" drives. Any 2.5" drive will fit this laptop. Enjoy.
