How thick is the 1tb upgraded hdd in the non-retina 15" MacBook Pro?

Hi there.
Just wondering if the 1tb upgraded hdd in the non-retina 15" MacBook Pro is 9.5mm or 12.5mm thick?
I'm hoping to move this drive into the optical bay and use a 12.5mm drive that I already own in the main HDD bay.
I realise it's an expensive upgrade and I could buy a separate 9.5mm drive for less than half the price but I'd rather make use of a supplied 1tb drive than get rid of a 500gb drive that I'd have no use for.
Appreciate your thoughts.
Many thanks in advance.

Hey knigar,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
When troubleshooting issues with external displays, I find the following article provides the most relevant information:

  • HT204032 Does the non-Retina screen MacBook Pro have the ability to initiate Power Nap?

    I've seen that the Retina screen MacBook Pros can use Power Nap from Apple's WWDC keynote but can the non-Retina screen MacBook Pros do that too? It has the same processor and close to the same RAM. Or is it because the Retina screen MacBook Pros have flash storage that they can do Power Nap? Thanks

    From http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/ this is what is officially supported:

  • Should I get the MacBook Pro 13" with retina display or the non retina display MacBook Pro?

    Hi, I am just about to start sixth form, and I am looking for a laptop/notebook to do my work on, I have always wanted a MacBook Pro so, as I have to use my own money to buy this I have decided to choose a MacBook Pro as my preferred device that I would like to buy. The problem that I am facing is that I'm not sure which want to go for. I will not be doing any editing of photos or videos, I will be using this mainly for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations, on the other hand I will be using safari quite a lot. The reason why I want the Retina display version is because of the display the downside to this though is that the storage of the Retina versions isn't as much as the non retina versions and I will need quite a bit of storage for all of my work that I will be doing. I have the money though to upgrade the storage when it comes to ordering the product. Any advice, I will be grateful for. Thanks

    Another thing to consider is that the Retina MBP does not have an optical drive.  You will need to purchase an external optical drive.  The non-Retina MBP do have an optical drive.
    I do not know what sixth form is.  If it has anything to do w/education,  you should check into Apple - Education Discounts

  • How do I install 3Q portable HDD External U275-BS on my MacBook Pro 10.7.2

    HI there - I just bought a 3Q portable HDD External U275-BS in Russia and it won't let me copy to it. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lorrain

    Most likely the drive is formatted in Windows NTFS, which Macs don't normally write to (only read) without extra software. You should be able to reformat the drive with Disk Utility. If you only use it on the Mac, reformat it in Mac OS GUID.

    Yesterday, I tried a SEAGATE SSHD but my screen was always a showing a QUESTION MARK (?). It's not the cable because when I put back the old original version, everything works...Any sugestion of brabnding or procédure to upgrade my hard drive?

    The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
    Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB?  The drive itself may be faulty.

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • Replacing/Upgrading the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD?

    I was wondering if it is possible to replace the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD from a 5400 RPM to a 7200 RPM. I plan on recording using Logic Pro so I will most likely need a faster hard drive. If so, what are some good, compatible hard drives to look into.
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    As asked here perhaps 1000 times a day, and findable
    with a simple search you can, but you can void your
    warranty if you don't do it right and there is some
    work involved. Spare the grief and get an external
    drive with a fast 2.5" drive in it and add to your
    capacity the entire value vs. the difference.
    It is very tiring to see you respond to everyone who asks this question with "get an external drive". I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who want more storage WITHOUT having to tote extra gear around.
    Yes external drives are useful, but they don't answer the question asked.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.
