Phil,
The Western Digital drives are very good! I currently have a 160GB running in an X30 and an 80GB in a 600X. I read that the 5400 rpm drives, although a bit slower than 7200 rpm, last longer. Also, the prices at Amazon are good.

ISTR some discussion of what drives would/wouldn't work in the T4x machines.

Alternatively, does anyone on the list have a 60-80GB EIDE drive they want to sell me cheap? I had 3 or 4 on the shelf, but all turned out to be bad. And a friend gave me one from a Gateway laptop (circa 2000) and it was too thick to even fit in the machine - I hadn't realized there was an older generation of drives that was thicker! This is my browsing-while-watching-TV machine, so it doesn't hold any real data, so I'm not worried about needing more space. .phsiii _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
