Re: [Thinkpad] Hitachi hard drives

Yes, they are compatible, depending upon the configuration, but they are the
least reliable. Consider Seagate, Toshiba, Western Digital, and Samsung...
in that order The Seagate has a five year warranty. Samsung probably does
by now. Toshiba has been the most reliable workhorse until Seagate came
along with the Momentus.

You will be able to use up to 128 GB drives, but a wise choice would be a
5400 rpm drive of 80 GB or less. The 7200 rpm drives are more susceptible
lateral impact damage, and simply do not last as long in any brand as do
their 5400 rpm drives.

Take a look at www.zipzoomfly.com and www.directron.com, as well as many
Newegg drives, for good prices and reliable models.
