Saw this at a chinese thinkpad forum.

It seems that IBM (at least IBM Scotland) is using ZIP harddrive and ZIP-IDE adaptor to replace the 1.8" HDD in X4* series, not sure about the performance increase though.

ZIF not ZIP.

ZIF = Zero Insertion Force (also known as LIF - Low Insertion Force)

ZIP = an old super-floppy type drive
