List of hard drives (upgrades) supported by T41

#1 Post by frustratedinTN » Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:10 am

Does anyone know if a list of supported hard drives for upgrades are supported by T41s? I stumbled across an extensive list of supported makers and model numbers of RAM on Lenovo's site, but haven't been able to zero in on a similar list for hard drives.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Any 2.5" laptop IDE drive will work.

Thanks! I was under the impression that the T41 only supported up to 100gb drives and then only certain models. I appreciate your time and advice.

That would be the T43 series that has the HD limitations...

The T43/R52 have the same limitations as the other T4x/R5x models: 320GB is the largest PATA drive available.
Several non-IBM-approved hard disks in the T43/R52 throw the "Error 2010", which can be auto-bypassed in the regular BIOS, and completely bypassed by loading a TTAV134-modded BIOS.
The T43/R52 can also be modded to support SATA drives natively.

OK, now I'm confused. Where do I find a list of IBM approved models?

RBS was referring to T43's and R52's as far as some non IBM drives throwing an error. My original answer is correct for a T41.
