One thing which might be worthy of note is that the plastic cover for 
the drive bay differs for 9mm and 12mm drives. The little tab which 
goes in is thicker for the 9mm drives. I have 2 type 2645 machines, one 
of which had a 9mm, the other 12mm. I just keep the cover with the 
appropriate drive.

If your new drive is of the other form factor you might consider 
ordering a drive bay cover to fit it. Of course if you're going from a 
12mm to a 9mm, your cover will fit, but it won't hold the drive in 
place. Maybe try a little bit of rubber to pad it?

(I was going to suggest bubble gum, but I was afraid someone might take 
it seriously. :) )
