Does anyone other than Toshiba make 8.5 mm notebook hard drives?

    I am under the impression that most notebook hard drives are 9.5 mm high.
    Toshiba has a line of Super Slimline drives that I believe are only 8.5 mm high.
    I have a laptop with a failed Toshiba drive and a Hitachi drive I have in stock is slightly too high. So I believe it needs a Toshibal Slimline (the drive in it is a Toshiba).
    I can't seem to find any info on any of the webistes I order from. In fact most drives don't even mention the height(unlike the old days when some were still 12 mm high and the specs mentioned which height)
    So I was wondering if only Toshiba made these 8.5 mm drives?

    Yep, I think I am stuck with only the Toshiba option. They make decent drives so it's not that bad.
    thanks
