X30 Hard drive into an X40

[qwertywraith]

I don't know much about computer hardware, but I've got an X30 that I spilled water on (it may still be fine).

Even if it does work I am thinking of upgrading to an X40 or higher, so I want to know if I can install the hard-drive from my X30 in an X40 (and vice-versa).

Also, do you have any recommendations on reputable dealers of off-lease Thinkpads or other places to get slightly older models?


mod note: moved from X300 forum to X30 forum.

Nope, does not work.

X30, X31, X32 = PATA 2,5"
X40, X41 = PATA 1,8"
X60, X61, X200= SATA 2,5"

So they are in no way interchangeable.

Thanks. I'll be considering my options for upgrading.
