K415b hard drive form factor

Does anyone know if my PCG-K415B uses a standard size (2.5") laptop drive? I'm aware that some laptops use smaller drives (which are still 2.5" but are not 'standard' height)

Go to Nextronics.com and they have the specs no problems

Thanks, that site is down at the moment but I'll check it once it comes back up.

Nextronics is still down, does anyone have any alternative sources of this info?

I am almost certain that the K series has a standard 100 x 70 x 9.5mm hard drive but if you want to check this out download Everest Home Edition from here.

Then have a look under Storage > ATA. This will give you the physical dimensions of your present hard drive.

Hi Mr_Cynical,

Any modern ATA interfaced drive will fit your K415B. Some older drives may be 12mm thick but nowadays, they are all the standard 9.5mm.

Have a look at this review of SEVEN OF THE LATEST ATA LAPTOP HDDs - the Seagate Momentus 100GB 7200 and the Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100GB look pretty impressive! They should all fit your K415B.
