ssd for t43?

[herbb]

Hi.
I have had my thinkpad t43 for 4 years now. Instead of getting a brand new computer I am considering replacing my HD and battery instead (as a side question - is this a good idea? i wouldn't want my computer to break in the middle of the school year). Also, do you know of any good Solid State Drives that would work for the t43?

Thank you,
herbb

Welcome to the forum.

SSD should work save the 2010 error at boot time. The Transcend 32GB MLC is still available at around $100 at newegg.com.

If you do a cloning, consider your old drive a backup.

"So in order for your laptop to be compatible with an Intel SSD, your laptop has to have a SATA connection for the drive. Check your laptop product specifications or your system manufacturer to see if your particular laptop support SATA drives."
