ThinkPad T30 - dead hard drive

T30 showed up today... This hard drive definately had a head crash.

For the first time all year someone had been keeping backups! What a releif. Laptop repair is great but informing people that all of their data has been permanently erased is no fun.

We installed a new WD600UE hard drive into their laptop. It is a Western Digital 60GB 5400RPM Hard Drive. I had not used a WD in a laptop before so i had to order some. It did its job.

My friend just pointed out to me that the WD600VE has an 8MB cache and is only slightly more $. I'll have to order some of those in a few minutes.
