Default will 9.5mm height drive fit in Dell 1564 laptop ?

I'm hunting around for answers but meanwhile does anyone know if a
9.5mm drive will fit inside the dell 1564 laptop? One source seem to
indicate this is thicker (greater height) than the standard laptop
drive. I'm also trying to find out what is the std height on a laptop
drive of recent vintage.

Hi!

It *should*...the common sizes used to be 12, 15 and 17mm by my
recollection. Drives have gotten smaller in size.

You might be able to measure your current drive and see what its size is.
Most modern laptops won't accept the 17mm drives, everything else is usually
OK.

Oh odd! I have found any 9.5mm should be fine. And anything larger
probably won't fit. Even in many USB enclosures as well.
