New iMac hard drive thickness?
How thick of a hard drive can we put in these? Will a 15mm fit? OR, are we limited to 12mm or 9mm?
Is this a good question?

It's a laptop hard drive, I believe.

The HGST 5K1000 drive that is in the teardown unit is a 9.5mm drive. However, perhaps with a modified holder, I'd imagine that a 12.5mm unit should fit without too much difficulty. Larger than that might require more "creativity".

Prompt HGST 5K100 can be replaced by another model of the hard disk of 250 GB or 500 from another manufacturer for example Seagate or Samsung HDD 320 or 500 mb ?
