SOLD: 20GB IDE PATA 2.5" laptop drive for older ThinkPads. Plus a second bonus drive that is very old and noisy. Please consider this a sale for one drive and if you can use the other, great. Only the first drive is guaranteed to work well. The second drive is a gift! I actually had a T40 image on it and it does boot up and run without errors, but it's not fast and it is noisy. Absolutely no guarantees on the second drive.

They will work in many ThinkPads including; R30, R31, R32, R40, R50, R51, R52, T20, T21, T22, T23, T30, T40, T41, T42, T43, X22, X23, X23, X24, X30, X31, X32, A20, A21, A22, A30, A31 etc.

They are old ThinkPad pulls, but I do not know if they will produce the 2010 boot error (which can be bypassed) in T43 or R52 models, or not.

I formatted/wiped them and tested them. No errors but CrystalDiskInfo shows "caution" on the second drive. I agree with that!

They are ready to use. Only the good one includes the ThinkPad caddy and four drive screws.

Hopefully, I've been clear. This ad is for one good 20GB drive, but I'm including a second, potentially failing drive as a free bonus.

Specifications for both drives are below. Both are ThinkPad pulls.

$20 delivered in the U.S. PayPal, USPS money order or cash accepted.
