    You say "not yet" - do you think it will happen? Maybe later this year?

    I have no idea. The fact that there is one available for the R61 leads me to think one in development for the UltraSlim Bay form factor. It's just a tentative guess.

    Panasonic has indeed unveiled a 9.5mm height drive which I would assume will be compatible with the T series. I have heard no mention of it being used in ThinkPads.
