Thinkpads Forum

Hello all.

I have been cruising the blogs and can not get an answer to this specific question. I see people have 2 and 4GB SDHC card working in their Thinkpad X61's which is encouraging. I was wondering (as they are VERY expensive right now) if anyone has a 16GB or better yet 32GB SDHC card working in the X61 Tablet? If so, what model specifically and what drivers if required? NTFS or FAT? Restriction or caveats with either file system format?

I currently have a X61 - 7767-96u and love it!!

I would like to place all my "My Documents" on it to make things faster. The machine is working great right now with my documents on a USB drive (i have a lot of documents) and works much faster than placing on the internal hard drive itself.

Any thoughts? I'm pretty anxious to get this working.

Cheers,

Greg

I can read and write a 16GB SDHC in my X61t just fine. It's formatted FAT32 for compatibility with my camera.

I have a Transcend 16GB SDHC Class 6 card in my X61 Tablet. It's formatted Fat32 because I just left the factory format in place and I wanted to maintain maximum compatibility with non-Windows machines. I think there are arguments for NTFS format, but they didn't seem so persuasive to me that I would want to lose compatibility.

Also, I'm running Vista and didn't need any drivers.

It's been great and no problems to speak of. It's mostly for my music so that the harddrive doesn't have to spin up each time a new song plays. Sometimes I backup to it.

At $70, it was the best bang for the buck when I bought it in May. It looks like it's about half that now.

It doesn't seem that there are many 32GB models yet, and the few around don't seem to fill the old 16GB price point.
