    Is there a limit to the thickness of a drive that can be used in the drive adapter for the T60? IE, can I use one of the new 250GB drives?

    I don't believe so.

    I do not think though that there is a 250. I do know of a 200...

    Do you mean the HDD which can go into the optical drive slot?

    Any 2.5" drive should work.

    Yes, thats what I mean. :) 99% of the time when I'm out and about an optical drive would be useless, bu an extra storage drive would let me take my lossless music collection with me.

    And both 250GB and 300GB 2.5" drives ar either in the pipeline, or in production at this point.

    Well, I figured that... I was just wondering if these newer [thicker?] drives could be a problem.

    haha, its too bad they won't work... That would be amazing.
