Help with HD replacement for t42.
Help with HD replacement for t42.
I have a t42 2379 3yrs old with bios v 3.16 installed. Its time for a larger drive but after reading all the post here about non-IBM drives I ‘m a bit confused. Will the Seagate Momentus 7200.1 ST910021A 100GB 7200 RPM drive work for me or will I be better just getting the drive from lenovo. I also noticed lenovo don’t sell any 7200 rpm drives for the t42.
It's easy, any 2.5" IDE (i.e. PATA) drive drive (9.5mm) should work in your T42. You do not need to buy an IBM/Lenovo drive. I mentioned 9.5mm just for completeness. You cannot find the older non-9.5mm ones on the market anymore.
Make sure you do NOT buy a SATA drive.
The hard drive incompability only affects T43. So don't worry about it.
