hi,
i'd like to know if the x61 support the sata 2 and if yes, if this will harm the battery life ?
i get an HTS722016K9S with my x61 and hitachi releases a software to modify the noise and the sata settings
does anyone try it ?

X61 does not support SATA2 although they advertised as it does. They have a speed cap on them, and it will only operate as SATA1. It matters a lot especially to users with intel SSD x25-m on them.

It supports SATA-II interface but SATA-II speed. -
Zephir is right. The x61 (and T61/R61) will support a SATA II device, but it will operate at SATA I speed.
This isn't a problem with any hard drive, or most SSDs, but the very fast SSDs (e.g. Intel X-25m) will have reduced read speeds as a result of the SATA I interface.
Conversely, the x200, T400, R400, W500, etc. all support SATA II devices at SATA II speed.
x61 and sata 2 ? + noise reduction
