New Intel 320 SSD series w/ 7mm height?

[idata]

Hey there,

I'm about to buy a new Intel 320 300GB SSD for my new Lenovo T420s.

Unfortunately I just realized that they come w/ 7mm slots so a regular 9.5mm drive won't fit.

Now I know there is (or at least should be) this spacer on top of the intel SSD that can be removed to make it a 7mm model.

The question is: Will this void my warranty?

And if it does, what other option do I have? Is there a special 7mm model (for Germany)?

Thanks in advance,

SFsix,

The 9.5mm drive will fit given that removal of the spacer is completed with addition of shorter screws. Only 1 thing will stand in your way, and that is a plastic slide guide that somebody at work broke off to make the drive fit into the bay. Apparently the connectors are connected since it has Win7 64 bit loading at the moment. Hope that helps, good luck!

Yes.

Please get the no warranty voiding in writing as Intel consistently answers queries on this subject with a "yes, it voids the warranty."
