Do you guys have recommendations for HDD that is 7mm 2.5 inch 7200rpm and 1t or 2t of storage

Second question

 

My laptop HDD now is 7mm but can I upgrade to a 9.5mm drive?

Usually you'd have to check the laptop specs themselves, but I'm going to venture safely on "no".

1TB is a LOT cheaper and thinner than 2TB, so for 7200RPM you're limited. But this is my pick.
