Appreciate it, I'll make sure I put the info on the Thinkpad Page.
However, I was talking about JUST the 2.5 drive, w/o the goofball
connector and case. Even straight from Sigma, those cases add ~$300 to
the price of the thing. I'd rather just open the case and swap out the
170M I have now - It's not really of any use to me once I have a bigger
case anyways, except for maybe installing Unix.....
So any OEM 2.5 drive >400M and with a thickness of 17mm is what I'm
looking for. Anyone who knows a source please post it.
I'm sorry for not making myself clear.
