Maybe you can use the same approach I used with my U10 - I've put in a
Promise PCI IDE controller and a 160GB and that worked fine (see the
archives of the sparc list - I had some crashes in the beginning which
were due to bad RAM). Downside is that you can't boot from them.
I don't know whether the X1 has free PCI slots, but if it has, it might
be an option.
Cheerio,
