I was looking through the spec and saw that there was a maximum higher of 12.7 mm, but I didn't see if that carried over to front mounted drive (I assume it would). But I just wanted to check for laying out my build as I was looking at getting a 15mm 2.5" drive.

A 15mm thick drive will fit behind the front panel, though the SATA power cable can make it a little tricky. The inside front is easier.

Ok, thanks. I was planning on an Noctua A15 fan on the front fan slot, but that limits the internal drive to like 9mm or so. I think I'll just switch that to the A12x25 one, which frees up to about 17mm.
