    Can't get 1 TB (2.5 " drive) to fit into HP Pro Book 6555b laptop.

    I looked at some SSD's, but they were listed as SATA III. (I wasn't entirly sure they would work - the online .PDF manual for my laptop HP probook 6555b only listed the HDD as"sata" not "sata III") Unless they are backward compatible I don't know if they would work or not. Here is one of...

    Would this work as a HDD - https://www.newegg.com/1tb-wd10spsx-black/p/1Z4-0002-017H9 Further down the page it lists the specs as: Dimension - 3.94" x 2.75" x 0.28" of which the 0.28" converts to 7.112 mm which is the recommended thickness of the replacement drive that you stated.
