[plug] Which brand of laptop?

[Lucas van Staden]

Hi,

Thinkpads can be very particular on the drive installed, also the hd's
in thinkpads have the 'shock' protection, which you will loose if you
don't add a drive with this supported feature (well supported in linux
with HDAPS)

Daved me once, so I like to stick with drives that support it.

Regards
Lucas
