Wow. This is extremely useful information! Thanks you. It looks that PCI slot and connection between dock and laptop is actually PCI 66MHz (PCI 33MHz, have maximum transfer128MB/s)! Thank you also for latencies (average access time), this is even more important to me, but just assumed, testing this ...

No, not the really old Dock I. I have the "2000" Dock I. It is nearly the same thing as "2000" Dock II, which you have (Dock II is differently sized to fit T40 generation). If you have a look at Docking_Solutions , you will see there was a "1990" Dock I and II; SelectaDock I and II and III; then "2...

I have a Dock I and a X22. You might not be interested because my hardware so different that yours. Do you want me to run some tests? Well, not much. This is very different Dock (you wrote Dock I , which actually doesn't work with X22). It doesn't have PCI slot, only ISA, and you will not really ru...

Thanks, it is not any secret - it can be simply measured by anyone having IDE or SATA controler in Dock II, and I know there is many such T4x users. As, of upgrading system, it will not really help me, as newer hard drives doesn't have some much better IO per second. And additionally I have SATA con...

If you need more HD capacity, forget about SSD for another 3-5 years. If you convert to SATA (I have done it also, 1/2 hour to remove chip, 1 hour to remove IDE and put in SATA connector), you could have a 1TB drive in the main bay, and another 1TB in a SATA adapter in your Ultrabay. If 2TB is not ...

You might be interested to convert your T43/T43p/R52 hard disk to SATA: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=94308 http://mikejmoffitt.com/sata/ Thanks! I know that in principle it was possible, but would need some small reverse engineering and soldering. Nice to see that somebody actuall...

I actually find T43 sound pretty good. Especially when I plug in my headphones, sound is better than in my desktop with headphones pluged into Logitech system. There are multiple things you should check. Best results are when you have hardware buttons at about 90%, and PCM(Wave) and Out volumes also...

Hi, I'm considering buying IBM ThinkPad Dock II (Model 2877), to my ThinkPad T43. And have few questions to the users of both. First. I would like to put some SATA controler in the PCI slot. I know it should fit (I will use flexible PCI raiser if it will not) , however I'm wondering what possible sp...
