Indeed, you're correct. The resident geek-type in the
store told me it wouldn't fit, we even tried it in a
SS4 there, unless you are willing to sacrifice the top
cover, it will not fit in the bay on top of the motherboard.

They did have 4.5 GB disks which could fit in a SS4,
but they're not willing to sell them separately.
(they want to sell them as an upgrade option to
a SS4 when you buy a SS4 there.)

Plan B is now to get a bare bones SS4 there with the
bigger disk and use the rest of the SS4 as a little tinkerbox

Thanks anyway...
