Re: [Thinkpad] T41p: reinstalling Windows, what HD to use?

Hi Andrew, Mike and RayBay
Another very interesting solution for home:
http://www.sharkoon.com/html/produkte/externe_gehaeuse/sata_quickport_pro/index_en.html

If one has more systems with even more HDD's in different sizes
this Sharkoon unit/s are a very flexible solution !!

Check yourself for your best needs. ;-)

Cheers, svobi
