Hey all,
Various diagnostics on my laptop are squawking that my HD might die soon, so I need to replace it. Any recommendations for a reliable HD for a Lenovo T500. I'm looking at the 320GB range. Thanks all.
 
The best suggestion I can give you is to replace the HDD with an SSD (e.g. Intel X25-M G2). I now have SSDs in my T410s and X200s and both feel snappier than my desktop machine. Even the 1.2 GHz dual-core X200s completely demolishes a i7-860 in boot time and application start time.
 
As much as I'd love a SSD, they're pricey. I'm trying to keep costs low and storage size is more important than speed. Reliability is the biggest issue. I don't want to lose experimental data because of a hard drive failure (I do backup frequently however).
Also, since I can't find it anywhere, non-lenovo hard drives should be compatible with a T500 yes?
