    Hello,

     

    Hmmm... strange. All original HDDs are 2.5" and 7 or 9.5mm of height. As far as I know, there is only one SATA connector so you can only have one SSD or HDD.

    1. Could you give me the part number or model name of the WD HDD?
    2. Could you give me the first ten characters of the computer serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

    Thanks. Okay! You own an ES1-432 and not E1-432 as stated in your previous reply. HDD has the same specifications: 2.5" and 7 or 9.5mm. I think you don't have an HDD bracket but only a dummy HDD bracket. Is it correct?

    I have a bracket and sata connection and all but the 2,5" won't fit in the bracket that's all real strange.

    Sorry but are you sure you have this bracket?

    LT-ES1-432-HDDB

     

    Could you give the part number or the model name of your new HDD?
