    Virtually all the Toughbooks most of us own are 2.5" 5v drives, IDE/PATA through CF-29 & CF-18, SATA on the later models. The only Toughbook I am aware of that uses 1.8" drives is the CF-07 "Brick". You have to be careful, most of the 1.8" drives you will find use a ZIF connector and fit iPods and the like. They will not work in the CF-07. Find Azrial here and use his search link, it works great on the forum. Welcome to the nut house!
