    If you mean for T61/X61's, the answer is yes. Click on this link for more details.

    For T60's/X60's it's a no due to hardware limitations on the chipset, it can only support SATA 1.5GB/s.

    there's already a thread about this as Heast555 pointed out so this one will be closed.

    when posting here, it would be helpful to specify the system you're asking about, especially with nothing but apple products in your sig.

    as an aside, it's 1.5 Gb/sec, not GB/sec. ;)
