QUOTE(hc7840 @ Nov 13 2020, 07:22 PM) Just realize the 2.5inch ssd is 7mm thickness and my old hdd is 9.5mm. Looks like might need spacer? My old hdd is not secured by screws, just the cover to hold it in place, 2 mm thinner might make new ssd wobbly inside? U can order a 9.5mm SSD spacer from Shopee. I ordered some for my Thinkpads as many using 9.5mm HDD previously. With the newer 7mm SSD, the spacer helped to make the SSD fit snugly.Everyone say ssd is a lot faster then hdd, don’t think need turbo mode? Lol Did you have problem with different thickness?  |
