I'd like to expand my x40 hard drive which is very slow as all of you probably know (4,200 rpm and so)
is it possible to replace any x4x hard disk drive with these new 1.8" ? I mean these ones

It would be nice if you could, but you can't. The X40 uses PATA (IDE) drives and the Toshiba are SATA. If they should release a version with the PATA interface, you'd be in business!

You meant... If they should release version with 2.5" PATA interface with connector on side of the drive...

Maybe the side connector thing will not be needed... http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=57685
