I tried to install a 230Gb Samsung IDE drive in my IBM M50 8187 but found
that it was too thick to fit into the hard drive slot available. The
factory installed SATA drive was much thinner.
Are there standard thicknesses for hard drives?
Anything you buy from ebuyer or the like will be a standard thickness ,
though I have seen a reasonable nmber of OEM slimline drives that are
noticable thinner.

If you're talking about laptop drives, there are both 9.5mm and 12mm
drives - the latter still currently being sold.
Ditto desktop drives - the standard is 1 inch, but you can still
purchase drives with a height of 5/8ths inch.
