Wy do you need a partnumber? I asume a regular 2.5' harddrive would fit the Z serie.

Yes, a regular one would fit. Remeber to keep the shock-mount rubber and the other stuff from ur old drive that came with ur machine.
I just bought a Hitachi 7200rpm sata 100GB off ebay. It works perfectly.

Make sure you get the Serial ATA version though.

The part numbers that will work are:
100GB Disk 9.5mm SATA150 (5400 rpm) 40Y8721
100GB Disk 9.5mm SATA150 (7200 rpm) 41N3013

Hai, i am anewbie here.

Will replacing the hardrive deactivates the anti shock protection from thinkpad? Is there any particular specs when looking for the new harddisk?

Thanks

[hsjC]

It won't deactivates Active Protection.
Basicly you want a 9.5mm thick, 2.5" size , Serial ATA connector harddrive.
I replaced my 60g drive on my z61t with a hitachi 7200rpm 100g drive. It works perfectly fine.
