Re: Sources for 2.1 gig HDs for ThinkPad 701CS
I thought that IBM did their own OEM drives? Is it really Toshiba that
makes them? The IBM Travelstar specs seem better than any other slimline
(12.7mm) drive out there, am I wrong? Would Toshiba make a better drive
for IBM, that IBM would turn around and OEM out anyway? Just curious.
As for drive prices, the latest catalog from Insight (www.insight.com)
listed a 2.1GB/12.7mm Seagate drive for $299, eye opening for me, now all
I need is a torx T6, a power drill, a rubber mallet (wouldn't want to
scratch my 701) and I'm ready to upgrade. Why pay $525 for someone else
to do it when you can DIY? Probably end up upgrading to 4 or 5 gig when
those come around anyway, you know? :)
