I've got a Toshiba 1.3gig in my 755cx. It works fine, other than
I haven't found a satisfactory case for it. The one that I got with
it almost fits, except the little wire handle for pulling it out
sticks up too high, so the keyboard won't close correctly.

I purchased the one from ISN, for $50, and after I got it, saw why
it cost half as much as other cases. It's only half a case! It only
comes with the top half, and doesn't come with the bottom half with
a little slide out lock.

I've been using the one from ISN simply cuz it does fit better,
and I've decided locking the ThinkPad down with the slide out lock
isn't real secure anyway. The tab that sticks out bends much too
easily, and I'm sure if I bent it back and forth a few times, it'd
simply break.

I haven't had any problem with suspend, but I'm not sure about
hibernate since I don't ever use that mode.
