ATA133 and a T400

[stx-di]

I'm looking to install a ATA 133 hard drive in my T400, Will it work or should I stay with the ATA 100?

Thanks,

T400 have a SATA drive interface, so you can't use a PATA drive in one.

What is it you want to achieve?

Cheers,

I'm looking to speed up the hard drive

Let us also know what drive do you have right now.

If the cost is not a problem, you may want to look at some SSD drives, they are much faster (especially in terms of seek times) than standard mechanical hard drives.

Alternatively, look for a SATA 2,5" notebook hard drive with 9.5mm height. Speedy are the ones with high rotational speed, measured in rpm-s. Look for a 7200rpm one. But please bear in mind that they are somewhat more noisy than the slower ones.

yak has good advice. You don't need to worry about ATA-100 vs. ATA-133 because the T400 doesn't accept that (older) type of drive. You will need a SATA drive instead.
