Thanks. So any 2.5" serial ATA150 drive will work?

What about this?

HITACHI Travelstar 7K200 HTS722012K9SA00 (0A50938) 120GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150 Notebook Hard Drive - OEM

Thanks for your help.

Re: X60 BIOS update gone bad - need backup BIOS

My machine still has problems from the last bios 'update.' When I remove the power the screen flickers off and on. Also I often can't get out of sleep. (X60S)

Thanks. Where do I order this part?

Fan became louder as if it is 'pinched' inside the case

It sounds like the fan on my X60s is getting squished. It used to be very quiet and now sounds like it is loudly rubbing against something inside the case. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Re: Anyone using their X60/X60s for really demmanding apps?

I am mainly concerned about using the X60s for Photoshop, After Effects, video encoding, Sonar/Cubase, etc. Also for playing the occasional game (GTA Vice City, Doom 3, etc.) How are the X60s series for that? Much better than say a T41p with a 1.7 Ghz Dothan and FireGL T2? I am really tempted to ge...

Re: Received my X-60 am I happy? Not at the moment.

I received my X-60 to replace my X-40. The only thing I did not like about my X-40, is that it was slow. The X-60 has rectified that problem but at a cost. The X-60 is loud and hot. Because it's hot the noisy fan runs all the time. In addition the heat is uncomfortable on my lap. Has anyone come up...

X60s a few weeks old. Battery will only charge to 97%

The battery will now only charge to 97%. Is this a software problem or should I be concerned about the future life of the battery?

Re: 3 monitors on x60s - Matrox as a possible solution

I'm sure someone else will give you the exact answer, but if you're simply looking for a 3 monitor solution for your x60s, you might check out the Matrix DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go solutions. Here's the link - look about 1/2 way down the page http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/products/home...
