Careful, careful!
the laptop in question is the 701, and it only takes 2.5" drives up to
0.5" = 12.5mm high. many cheap drives are 17mm and will not fit.
also, the standard pin arrangement of the 2.5" drives has changed recently
regarding master/single master/slave status of the drive and tha way they
need to be shorted. I am not sure if that applies with the 701.
I won't even go into the problems with the caddies...
