    After I applied the modified BIOS on my T61, it now takes 10 seconds to boot into my HDD (previously only < 1 second).

    The best drivers are Intel's Rapid Storage Technology drivers, available on their own website. Your BIOS must be set to AHCI mode to make use of them (if they are not, you will likely have to reload your OS with AHCI mode on for this to work).
