The product datasheet says they're 12.5mm thick, so won't fit.

check the specs at hitachi's site.

assuming it's this one:
<http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/592ABEC6BCD5359A862
573BE00822ECF/$file/5K500_datasheet.pdf>

it's 12.5 mm and is too thick.

but if it's this one:
<http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/FFA370A7BF845F87862
574FE0003054C/$file/TS5K500.B_DS_final.pdf>

it's 9.5 mm and should fit.
