2.5" hdd
i've just bought a new hdd for a laptop, and looking at it's spec - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=685, it seems a 1tb drive is also available - i find this interesting! obviou...
I have now modified my instructions with two more alternatives.
The easiest one if you want to use 2.5" drives more or less permanently is adding spacers. In this way, if you go for three screws per tray only, you won't even have the need for power tools -- just a few screws.
Otherwise you can sand/file down the front, where the screws meet the metal, half a millimeter -- which together with overall tolerances in the latch/locking system will lead to a perfect fit with no-to-minimal flex in the circuit board.
