T61 + SSD?

#1 Post by Boy2006 » Fri May 01, 2020 10:08 am

Could my good old T61 handle a 2,5" SSD?
I read often a Laptop must support this and that to not destroy a SSD by writing tons of stuff to it.
Does the SSD Manufactures fix that problem?
Thanks!

Definitely, just make sure to install the Middleton BIOS to unlock the motherboard's SATA II speed capabilities.

There's good information here:

You'll be amazed at the performance increase compared to an HDD.

Currently i have a BIOS who unlock the Check for Wifi Cards.

(If someone interrest it I got a Internal Micro SD Card Reader who 2 Micro SD Card fit in. I use them as Cache for some Application that work perfect! :thumbs-UP: The show up in Win7 as Drives but the are not Boot able.)

Middleton's BIOS includes wifi-unlocking.

But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!
