Overview
The ThinkPad® 60 GB and 100 GB 7200 rpm Serial ATA Hard Drive options make it easy to upgrade the primary hard drive of supported ThinkPad laptops.
Incorporating the Drive Noise Suppression System (DNSS), these new hard drives offer reduced noise levels compared to previous generation hard drives without DNSS. DNSS replaces the traditional ball-bearing design in previous models with the fluid dynamic bearing spindle motor technology and voice coil motor dampening enhancements. These efforts result in acoustical noise reduction, improved shock tolerance, and improved reliability.
These new ThinkPad hard drives balance the requirements of capacity, performance, size, and reliability to meet the exacting standards of ThinkPad customers.
For additional storage and backup capability, use the optional ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter (40Y8725) to install the ThinkPad 60 GB and 100 GB 7200 rpm Serial ATA Hard Drives in the:
Media bay in supported ThinkPad laptops such as the ThinkPad T60, X60, X60s, and Z Series laptops
ThinkPad Advanced Dock media bay
ThinkPad X6 Ultrabase media bay
