Ive got a T60. Can i install the above SSD without any problems ?
Do i need to buy any cables ect. if it can be installed?

Yes you can.
No extra stuff required.
Don't install XP, it's not SSD-friendly, but use W7 instead.

I'm running that SSD on my machine. No cables/adapters required (I bought the cheaper bare drive version). Works great! Fresh OS install always a good idea.

Well, sure, it may work "just fine" but XP and Vista do not support TRIM. Windows 7 does.

Sorry to bring up an old thread BUT i'll be putting the 830 SSD into my T61 as the main drive and want to use Ubuntu as that drives OS with my Spinpoint M8 HDD in the ultrabay running W7 OS, anyways my question is if Ubuntu supports TRIM ???
