Common drywall for residential is 1/2" If you have a block home I do not know if they are using wood firing strips or metal hat channel. Certainly someone in warranty services could tell you that. On a block home there is not much depth on the exterior walls between the drywall and the block and it has foam board in between so an expandable anchor may not work at all!
