I upgraded the 1TB to 2TB when i bought it and now i want to upgrade it to the seagate barracuda 4TB and those HD are 15mm compared to 7mm. They still fall under 2.5 laptop size.

Does this laptop GL702VS supports it? I better hope so!

Thanks in advnace, couldn't find anything about it.

For anybody who didn't already know 7mm is the thickness of the hard drive and my information shows only 7mm and 9.5mm thickness 2.5inch hard drives have been approved for the GL702VS, so do not expect a 15mm thickness hard drive will fit properly, unfortunately.

If you happen to have a metric ruler around, it can probably give you a better idea why it's too thick to fit in this notebook. Thanks.

That really sucks. What's the point then to call those laptop HD geez.

Disappointed by asus.

Thanks for the answer.
