    So I recently snagged a rather nice deal on an old Thinkpad X41 Tablet(in signature), but I was looking into upgrading the hard drive from 60GB to something more like 160GB. However, I've read from some sources it uses a
    'proprietary' HDD, yet from others it seems any 1.8" HDD would work out. Any help or links to HDDs that would work guys?


    Thanks,
    Thomas

    any 1.8 inch hdd would do, you can get the PATA SSD in that size.

    Alright, thanks, wanted to be positive, any idea where I might be able to pickup one of those for relatively cheap?

    EDIT: Aren't there IDE to SATA connectors, would one of those possibly work? Might end up being cheaper.
