Upgrading SSD
I am trying to replace my existing HD with a SSD. Is there a particular brand I need to buy and do I need any adapters to connect the SSD ?

Re: Upgrading SSD
No to both questions.
Just make sure to buy a proper size unit...what laptop are we discussing here anyway?

Re: Upgrading SSD
That will of course depend on which ThinkPad you have, but you offered not information about that.

Re: Upgrading SSD
Its T60 with model # 8744-5bu ....... So the existing hard drive caddy has adpadters for ssd.
Re: Upgrading SSD
Yes, the SATA SSD will fit into your existing HDD caddy. You only need a #1 Philips screwdriver and you are done. Look at this thread: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 59#p687359

Re: Upgrading SSD
Is there a maximum capacity I need to worry about and any particular brand of SSD is recommended to buy . So if I dont need any special adapter for SSD it should be plug in play and windows should install without any issues ..
