Dell Inspiron M5110 HDD Upgrade?
Hi everybody, I have a Dell Inspiron M5110 and am thinking of upgrading it with a Western Digital WD Black2 Dual Drive which is an SSHD and is 9mm thick. Is there sufficient clearance in the drive bay to take this?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, it'll fit. That said, read up on the reviews of the device - it has its limitations. It's not just a conventional hybrid drive (such as the Seagate hybrids are).

Thanks for that. I have actually read the reviews and the consensus of opinion was that it was a big improvement over conventional hybrid drives because it is two separate drives - SSD for OS and fast applications and 1TB for storage. I just don't want to dismantle the M5110 only to find the SSD was too thick.
