Upgrading the HDD in an IBM R40
I on an old (2001-2003) IBM Thinkpad R40, model 2681-CU3, that I would like to upgrade the Hard Drive on. I "purchased" it used through Rent-A-Center, so it is most definitely out of warranty. Adding to my frustration is the fact that the Lenovo website I'm being directed to lists very few upgrade options for my type of laptop, and very few guides. I do know that it is a SATA interface. I currently have it in "stock" configuration, only upgrading the RAM to 1.5 GB. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |

The R40 is ATA-6, not SATA. The first R-series that was SATA was the R60. If it is the R40, any ATA-6 drive from a site like Newegg should work.
