Can the Hitachi 7K250 harddrive be used in the the T60? The storage size up to 250GB and the speed is 7200rpm.

That drive, it appears, it from Hitachi's Deskstar line. It's a 3.5" drive that won't fit in a notebook.
Apathy is on the rise, but nobody seems to care.

geakin, you are relatively close:
Hitachi announced a 200GB 2.5-inch TravelStar (7200rpm) and a 250GB (5400rpm) unit for the first and second half of 2007, respectively. Both drives will have hard-drive-level data encryption as a new security feature.

he he, forget the HD.

Sandisk just today announced a 32GB SOLID STATE NAND drive.

Price is $600 or so, but it is MUCH faster than any hard drive there is.

Uses a lot less power too.

Actually initial reviews of SSD's aren't very good.
Have used just about every ThinkPad since the T42 days...

Not to mention the biggest issue with flash drives is the ability to write and rewrite over and over... it becomes really unstable.

Access times are faster, but sustained transfer speeds are still slower. That and the pesky limited write issue.
