I just bought a used T60 and have a few questions about upgrading the hard disk. Reading customer reviews leaves me wondering what the best choice would be for a replacement. I've had good luck with Seagates in my desktops - and bought them mainly for the 5 year warranty - but the Seagate Momentus (...

I'm looking at a number of different Thinkpads but I'm leaning toward a T60. I won't be doing any video intensi...

The specs say "Storage Controller Type Serial ATA/IDE" Does this mean that the machine will accept either a SATA or an ...
