T60 / T61 / hard T61W compatible cross-training?

Hi guys:

I have a question about hard T60 and T61 discs.

I work for a company where we are gradually T60 laptop computers for the new T410.

Are we able to use T60 stock hard drives in laptops T61 and T61 (widescreen) if we were to rebuild their image for Windows 7?

In my view, that we use the 80.0 GB HDD T60 version.

I also wanted to know if it is backward compatible (if we need older drivers during the upgrade of the OS)-that is, a disk hard T61 or T61W, working in a T60.

I believe that all hard disks that came with laptop computers, when we bought were the stock 80.0 GB... but would be still the 60.0 GB 5400 RPM (or 7200, I completely forgot that we use) in a book in a T61 so T60 we were to reformat and install Windows 7 top?

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

I have just been informed that the tension (or was it amps, I forgot) is different for a T60 and a T61 stock hard drive.

If this is true (which seems very likely to be), how will this affect performance / use?

Is there a way to increase the voltage on a hard drive because of the different models?

How will this affect usability be?

They use the same type of hard drive, the drive SATA itself may be exchanged between T60 T61, T400/T500, T410/T510.

  • Weird hang-ups with T61 HARD drive

    Hello

    I bought a new Thinkpad T61 in March and have had a lot of problems with it since then. I think that they are somehow related to my HARD drive. I'm not 100% sure though.

    In certain situations, my system just hangs. It will not crash, it just hangs. It is always indicated by the light of the disk stopping for blinking and remain on while not other operations that require a HARD disk access is not possible on the machine. For example, I'm usually able to move the mouse, but that's close enough. I could try to open a file and my system just hangs there. There is no visual cue that something is wrong, but I'm not in a position to continue to interact with my system. The only thing that helps is a reboot after Windows Vista notes that she has not stopped correctly but is not aware of any inhibition.

    There are two situations where this scenario is certain to occur. One is if I use my Thinkpad on the train. I'm usually just able to use it for a few minutes and then it crashes. So, it is probably related to the movement. This also happens if I interact with my computer and try for example to open a file, until the desktop and applications are fully charged.

    In addition, I have DRIVE_POWER_STATE_FAILUREs sometimes when put my Thinkpad in hibernation.

    Oh, and sometimes I just get a blue screen randomly while working. I have not yet found a model by those.

    Yes, is there someone out there with similar problems? Do I have to send my Thinkpad (I really can't spare that much at the moment), or is it a driver problem?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Henning

    Henning,

    I think I found the original setting our problem (at least the problem of blocking). Go to Panel, system and maintenance, and Power Options. Then go to edit the parameters of Plan for your current plan, select change advanced power settings, select the hard disk and Windows hybrid hard disk power saver. Disable this on battery and ca.

    I wrote this answer any battery power, something I would not able to do before changing this setting. I would like to know if it works for you.

  • Radiator and fan on Thinkpad T60 T61

    Hello

    Its time to change the fan on my Thinkpad T60. I thought to replace the entire cooling system (fan and heat sink). Is it possible, in terms of compatibility, use a T61 radiator and fan? I mean having a FRU:41V9932 and FRU:42W2820. I've heard that T61 cooling system, is better than the T60, his cooler etc and more completely.

    What is did anyone of you experience this nature? Are they compatible physics?

    Thank you

    My model:

    ThinkPad T60, 14.1 "

    Hard drives must be compatible with the connection port on a computer, not with an operating system. You can use any external HARD drive that can be connected by Firewire and USB ports on the computer.

  • Tecra M2 - I need a new HARD drive compatible

    Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand Tecra M2, but the hard drive will be replaced soon because it is endangered. I found a hard drive on ebay that says it's compatible, it says in the title for the hard drive

    "Toshiba Laptop Tecra TE S2 S1 M3 M2 M1 hard disk 120 GB.

    but there seems to be so many models of m2 that I don't know if this drive will be compatible with each other. I'm a novice, if you have not already guessed! So, I would be very grateful for the advice. Model No. my particular M2. is PTM20E-01KK3-FR

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    For the Tecra M2 you need a HARD drive with IDE interface, and this means that the HDD from eBay should also work on your laptop properly.

    As far as I know the Tecra M2 may due the only handful of 28-bit LBA limit s HDD up to 128 GB 120 GB HARD drive should work. :)

  • Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE: need new HARD drive compatible

    Hello

    Jealous of my relationship with my Tosh laptop - my wife - angry of stupidity, decided to slam closed
    OOPS, it no longer works.

    After cooling down - she did not apologize, BUT said she would pay for the repair.

    After investigation, I feel it may be the hard drive - I have re-installed from master disks and it worked sort of--even allowed to install aol.
    AND he then stopped loading - hearing closely it seems to be looking for the hard drive to complete the load.
    It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 IB1 model PSAFHE - 00800PEN and has a Hitachi hd
    HARD DRIVE: 5K 250-160
    Model: HTS542516K9SA00 5 v DC 700mA 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM

    I can't seem to find one anywhere - tried to contact Toshiba to know what would be appropriate replacements - picking the winning lottery numbers would be easier to get through Toshiba. So I thought I would try the forums.
    In my opinion, it's the hard drive BUT as a mere mortal, I could be wrong - all advice would be appreciated.

    Please tell us what drives fit
    concerning

    Hello

    It seems that the laptop supports a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
    As the controller SATA HDD has no limitation, all SATA 2.5 hard drives should be compatible.

    If you want, so you can choose a 250GB 2.5 SATA HDD THAT and normally it should work as part of your laptop.

  • HP Pavilion p6280t PC: Western Digital hard drive Compatible for HP Pavilion p6280t desktop PC

    I need to replace the internal hard disk for this old model of PC.  It came with a hard drive from 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s (Seagate).  What drive Western Digital hard (750 GB or 1 TB) is compatible with this computer?

    The limitation of SATA is more like a heading of speed that allows the bus. (6 Gb/s) SATAIII allows real world speeds of up to 600 MB/s while SATAII (3 Gbps) allows speeds of up to Bot 300 Mbps connections. allowing speeds of over the current maximum capacity of any mechanical hard drive. Best performing discs can go up to 200 MB/s, so it wouldn't really matter if you use SATAII or SATAIII. You should be fine using either for the WD Black and you shouldn't see any difference in transfer speeds.

  • Drive external HARD is compatible with eSata on Satellite L655-158

    Hello

    I buy a L655-158 this weekend, I also intend to buy a Seagate external hard drive that fits the eSata using something like that: -.

    "Times that are up to six times faster than with USB 2.0 powered Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable of eSATA transfer is designed to keep pace with you, to offer you!

    With the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA upgrade Cable you can easily and inexpensively switch interface GoFlex and GoFlex Pro Ultra-Portable from your hard drive at speeds ultra-fast eSATA.

    The FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA upgrade Cable works with any port powered eSATA/USB combo, and is compatible with the ultraportable GoFlex and GoFlex Pro drives. Please note that it is not compatible with standard eSATA ports, not powered.

    Take the time to transfer upward with the FreeAgent GoFlex Powered eSATA Cable upgrade to Seagate.

    General information
    GoFlex connectors for eSATA/USB combo port
    Other compatible with ultraportable GoFlex and GoFlex Pro readers. "

    So, my question is the compatible adapter with eSata on the L655-158 port, is the powered port or not? If this is not the case, what are external drives others who enjoy the ease of eSata, and well what they are doing?

    Thanks in advance,

    Concerning

    Kevin

    Hello

    > So my question is the compatible adapter with the port eSata on the L655-158
    There are just sort of eSATA port. If the external HARD disk supports eSATA interface so I guess you can connect this external HARD disk to the port eSATA to the Satellite L655-158

  • The T60 SSD HARD drive upgrade

    I have a Lenovo T60 (2623-KFU) for about 3 years now, and it's always hard with no real problems. I was thinking some SSD solutions. Is it possible (and not void the warranty) to replace the hard drive with an SSD Fluxsol? I hope that the Motherboad/BIOS/others does not limit this anyway.

    Otherwise, I do not use my WWan device and was considering to replace care wireless with a SSD Mini PCI-e card. I know that blocking the BIOS a few components, but is the restriction to only wireless cards, or for all?

    Yes the SATA 2.5 inch SSD will work, but it is limited to SATA1 mode, you are able to change the hard disk without affecting the warranty because it is considered to be a customer replaceable unit or THOUGHT.
