RedM Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I've just ordered a 20gb HDD for my Thinkpad T20 but apparently it's out of stock for a few weeks so I've cancelled. I've found an 80gb drive now for less money but I'm concerned about the size. Will it physically fit my laptop and will the storage size be an issue? Power too. Is there enough to power it without upgrading the PSU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Will be fine buddy Thinkpad T20's are quite old? If it is, just make sure its an IDE drive you have ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 PS - make sure its also a 2.5" drive (laptop size) rather than a 3.5" drive (desktop size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Would it cause any overheating issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Would it cause any overheating issues? Shouldn't do no, although if it's a 7200RPM drive they can run a bit hotter than 5400RPM ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
