Inspiron 1564 hard drive size limit
Hello, I'm about to replace the original HD for my Inspiron 1564 and I wonder if there's a capacity limit. Dell suggests to check for it inside the manuals, but I've found nothing so far. I would like to install a 750GB HD, replacing the current WD 500GB.
at this link, a Dell employee answers Inspiron 15 (1564) limit is 500GB:

but in the Dell shop, they're selling a 750GB one, and Inspiron 15 (1564) is among the supported
Can somebody clarify this please? :)

Any SATA drive that will physically fit the system (9.5 mm or slimmer) will work.
Note: If you buy a 7 mm drive, you may need a shim to install the drive:

Without the shim, the drive may not stay connected to the system board.
