Basic question

#1 Post by kneedeep » Thu Mar 11, 2010 8:41 pm

I have only a little experience with Thinkpads, my first, an A30 just died and I'm researching a newer model.
I'm looking at a T60 and have a question about the storage controller.

The specs say "Storage Controller Type Serial ATA/IDE"

Does this mean that the machine will accept either a SATA or an IDE drive?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

Serial ATA means SATA.

T6x machines will only accept SATA laptop drives in the main bay.

The IDE part applies to the ultrabay
