Most drives will work in the docking station, But only 11 drives, mostly by Hitachi, will work beyond 40 GB in the T43 and T43p.
There are long disserations on the problem that you can find with a Gurgle search. The drives you need are no longer made, and are difficult to find online... as smart people squirreled them away when the problem was revealed. I have not tried the newest drives from Fujitsu or Samsung, but I have tried most others. You get the error. Some will not work with the error code. Others will work fine, but you have to tolerate the error on upon boot. The surprising thing to me was that Lenovo didn't care at all, and made no attempt to add additional drives, or make hardware changes available that would correct the problem.
