I'm looking for a 1.8in hard disk for Thinkpad X40. Preferably 40GB+ but will consider smaller if the price is right. Caddy would be nice too but not a requirement. I have laptop and desktop parts I can trade or can pay cash/paypal or a combo thereof.

They are getting very rare, and when you do find one, be prepared to pay a premium for even a 20GB drive.

There are two kinds of 1.8" laptop hard drives. The great majority won't fit the X-series Thinkpads.

How much would you pay for a 40GB disk?
(I am debating getting a X40 and selling the HDD since I do not need it)

Not sure if they need to be from IBM or if a Hitachi OEM 1.8 will work, but here is a 60GB for a decent price;

The guy who sells the 30GB disks is located about 10 minutes away from my house. I've spoken to him and this might be an option.
However, I would prefer a 40GB or 60GB disk instead if anybody has one.
Update: bought that 30GB, it's running well so far. It was brand new, I tore open the static bag myself. Still looking for that caddy. It's holding on with just screws. If anyone has a caddy or a larger 1.8in drive, let me know.
