Did I mess up? I ordered a Travelstar 80Gb 7200rpm drive to replace the 5400rpm 60Gb drive that came with my x60s, only to discover that the drive in my x60s is a SATA drive, and of course, the Travelstar is ATA. No "male-female" mating going on here! I searched newegg to find a 7200rpm SATA drive for my ThinkPad but to no avail. Ooops.
any suggestions? thanks,
philip

THanks. I figured out that the 7k100 comes in two interfaces, and I just ordered the ATA rather than the SATA. Oh well, we live and learn. My problem now is that if I order the SATA drive, I need an interface to clone the original drive to the new drive (I used Apricorn's before, but the interface is PATA.) That's more dollars...
again, thanks,
