Hi folks,

My T30-2366-61U has a 20 GB 4200 rpm Hitachi serial ATA-5 drive in it( 1C25N020ATCS04). I want to replace it with 80 GB 7200 rpm Hitachi SATA-6 drive. Is this gonna work?

Thanks

Kaka

No!

You can't use a SATA HD in that machine, but a 7K80 PATA HD will work just fine.

Is it possible to put a SATA drive in a T23 2647-4MG ?

If its not possible then could you recommend the biggest (and quickest) drive for my T23.

No, the SATA drive will not work in the T23, or any T2x/T30 Thinkpad.

Here is a link in the Marketplace for some 100gb and 120gb drives, from a recommended seller, and an EXCELLENT price! These specifically are 5400rpm drives. There are some 7200rpm drives, but I am not sure how large they will go, either 100gb or 120gb.

Thanks James,

Yes you are correct, I found out after spending yesterday afternoon browsing Hitachi website. So I assume a 7200 rpm 100 Gb 7k100 PATA /ATA-6 drive should work fine - right?

Thanks

You assume correctly, that's the exact HD I have in my T30.
