Talk:Hard disk drives

Could anybody just give a brief hind on how to replace the hard disc? I haven't gotten a single clue, and I seem not to be able to find any documentation on that topic. I would really be greatful for any help whatsoever. :)

I wonder where you are looking for that documentation.

• the printed manuals that should have come with your ThinkPad include that documentation
• the Access IBM help application in Windows includes that documentation
• the hardware maintenance manuals linked from almost every model page in ThinkWiki includes that documentation
• googling for "thinkpad replace harddisk" has this link in 5th position and replacing "thinkpad" with your actual model will for sure lead you to more specific documentation

I guess you've just been waiting for someone to throw it into your letter box.

FUJITSU MHV2120AH suitable for T41?

Hello guys,

I've bought a Fujitsu MHV2120AH. Has anyone experience whether that harddisk is suitable for the Thinkpad T41? It seems that I can't insert the harddisk entirely.

Thanks a lot. Marcus

Modding ZIF connectors for AT connection in X41

I've been searching online for a new hard disk for my Thinkpad X41 (2525), it has one of those little 1.8" TravelStar drives that seems to have a PATA interface (rows of pins) on it. It looks like these 1.8" drives have been pretty much discontinued by Hitachi and they only sell the same disk but with a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a PATA to ZIF connector to work in a Thinkpad? or indeed any source of the HTC***AT drives?
