My Intel X?? came as a superslim 2.5 package, but with a plastic bumper as part of the construction making it up to full height. Having to disassemble it first thing to remove the buffer went just fine, but wasn't a great start (warranty voided before I even powered it up?)
Had to remove enclosure of a Kingston drive to fit a notebook also. Just cycled all the storage in the desktop before voiding my warranty... Still sucks
In your case it's double ironic since Intel is the one that pushed for slim ssd because of the ultrabook shenanigans while everyone was doing a standard size. Not that having smaller drivers is bad...
