    Has any run a secondary hard drive in a T60/T61? If so, what the effect on battery life?

    I have the hard drive adapter. I didn't notice a big difference one way or the other.

    Well, with another hard drive it will obviously take a bit more power, however I'm not sure how significant it would be, especially as most people aren't that likely to be pushing both drives hard while on battery.

    Either way, it's just nice to have the option of having a second HDD in a smaller notebook. :D
