high capacity hd for a t43p

#1 Post by rajpanesar » Fri Apr 29, 2005 7:14 am

I want to replace my hard drive with a higher capacity hard drive. I have a 60gb and would like an 80gb or higher, also a faster drive. One other thing a HD that I can just swap out a plug straight into my t43p? :?


Thanks

I just got a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 and it is so quiet I had to keep checking the activity light to make sure it was still working. NO noticeable speed difference from a Hitachi 60GB 7200rpm as far as I can tell.

This was not used in a Thinpad :-( but I can recommend the Seagate drive from experience

Seagate will also be shipping 120GB 5400RPM & 100GB 7200RPM drives sometime in May. Look for a review on the 100GB 7200RPM in a T43 at the site in my sig :)

I just looked but didn't see the review (only saw a 100GB/5400 review). Can you post a link?
Apathy is on the rise, but nobody seems to care.

Sorry for the confusion.
We will have a drive for review soon and a review out ASAP after that. :) I'll be sure to post a thread when it is done!
