I bought the drive for a HP Pavilion laptop. I matched the replacement to the OEM. Those would be the steps I'd recommend to anyone looking to replace computer parts.

I have mine installed on a IBM T43 and it works fine. I would give it a try.

I have one running in an IBM T20. I is an IDE/PATA drive and works fine. Now the computer is not up to modern standards but it too is chugging along.

Hughes, sorry to hear that the product did not work for you. I ordered the same hard drive for my Toshiba which uses the IDE connector and it worked fine. In same laptops it is not easy to fit in the hard drive and align the pins properly but if your laptops uses IDE connectors, I am very positive that the product will work. As far as i know, the hard drive is either a SATA, PATA or IDE kind of technology. And if it IDE, that drive should be able to work. However, your situation may be different am not sure, but all i say mine is working fine. Otherwise you can also try to compare with the old one and see if there is a match. Thank you.

I used this on my Sony T Series notebook to replaced the existing non SSD hard drive. If your equipment is originally equip with the 1.8 hard drive then this should work. but if it comes with the standard 2.5 SATA then you will need an adapter. Thanks

If it works with SATA/PATA/IDE drives of any kind, then yes it will. But be warned, make sure that you get one that's working properly and undefective, perferably a new one. Trust me, I got mine new and it works fine.

Hi, It looks like an IDE Hard drive (it was a small picture I found) so yes it should work with this.

Matthew, I'm using this on a T530, so can't respond from personal knowledge. If you look at the link below, however, you'll see that the T420 is listed as compatible with this dock, as well as the T530:http://support.lenovo.com/en_IN/detail.page?&LegacyDocID;=MIGR-4TPJF4Cheers!

Hello This is a standard laptop drive 2.5IN Therefore it should work in any standard laptop 2.5in SATA Connection.

Yes it will, It is a standard laptop hard drive. The most difficult part is removing the old drive. There are instructions for that on the internet. tom Walker

I believe the Sabrient USB to SATA/IDE would be compatible with the older 40 pin PATA IDE interface.

I believe it will. The one I received had a different letter at the end from what the original drive had, which is probably why it had a different faceplate that was flat instead of curved to be flush with the edge of my laptop. It works fine, though. And I read somewhere that you can swap out the faceplates, even though I haven't bothered to try it.

I agree.Best to check with Lenovo/IBM first. (I installed one of These on my 410 without too much Trouble)

From what I find it probably will. The Icom specs for the T70A specify the programing cable is OPC478UC. The one thing I did find with the USB/serial cable I bought it used the Prolific chip set, and I went right to Prolific's website to get the utilities to verify it was a real chip set and the latest drivers. I had trouble with the older drivers that I had for other Prolific cables.

Buy an desktop IDE to laptop adapter and it will work fine. I am running one of mine in a G5 Mac using that adapter. It works as good as the old Dell D660, that the other one runs in. "2.5 to 3.5 Hard Drive Bay Adapter Convert Your IDE Laptop Hard Drive into a Desktop Hard Drive" is a good solution...

I had a Thinkpad T420 and it worked with that. If you want to be sure, go to the Lenmar website and ask. I asked them before I got my current laptop and they answered pretty quickly. As for how long it lasts? On the Thinkpad it would power it for about 2 hours.
