I've got a Toshiba external hard drive which I found out has a SATA connector, nothing soldered on, I was thinking of opening it and using it as a internal hard drive.

Does anyone know if it will fit inside a DL380 G6, it will be 12mm thick?

I don't want to open the case and realize it does not fit, hence asking.

thanks

HP SFF (2.5") drives are up to 15mm height, so physically a 12.5mm height drive will fit. If the server can't read the temperature sensor, or if the drive doesn't have one, your fans will probably ramp up to full speed.
