Does anyone know what brand or model SAS drives are compatible besides buying directly from Lenovo?

This is pretty standard any drive that has the right form factor and physically fits in the bay should work

You do know this is a SAS hard drive and not an SATA one. Well the truth is I had brought this one by mistake and had sent it back. So I really cannot give you an answer. Sorry.

I do not know. All that I've learned is that the drives and their external cases are very chipset-sensitive. Probably the case with the electronics is the more important factor. I'd try it, but return it if it won't work.

No. This is an enterprise drive designed for servers with small form factor drive bays as are all of the Constellation 2.5" drives. This drive has a SAS (serial attached SCSI) interface and must be attached to a SAS controller (SATA will NOT work). Constellation 2.5" drives (SAS and SATA) are much too thick to fit in a laptop - about twice the height of typical SATA laptop drives.

You need to check the part# carefully. These DVD slim drives all look similar BUT they are not the same depending on height. Go to the Lenovo website, under support, follow the instruction and find out the part#. Then search on Amazon to buy.

You can use any Sata drive. They must be the same size. If they're dissimilar sizes it will only be as large as the smallest drive. So far it's worked flawlessly

D&F; S. I am sorry, I don't carry that exact one anymore .. Closest I would have is the Seagate 1TB with CC38.. ST31000528AS I think is the part #.. You could use this drive and downsize it if your trying to put it in a raid install.. Anyways, let me know.. Glad to help if I can.ScottAll Computer Parts

The link is showing different drives (Western Digitial, Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba). Which model are you referring to?

Yes, It's the first thing I did. Lenovo has added windows 7 drivers on their website. I removed the factory hard drive and replaced it with a 7200 rpm western digital black. The only issues I have is that the device manager shows 2 unknown usb devices but I can't seem to find any non or under functioning features/components. All in all I'm very pleased, especially with the price as compared to similarly equipped other brands.

Any SATA drives will work, but I would recommend using the same drives in both bays.

I guess not, SAS drivers are not suported, have a look for more details in http://d.buffalo.jp/ls421de/

Unfortunately, only the newest line of thinkpads can handle msata drives. No it will not be compatible with this drive, however you can get a standard ssd drive which will perform much faster than a typical HDD. Something like this should work http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ssd/ct120m500ssd1

It should work fine, though I haven't used that brand drive myself. It's the correct type (SATA III).

Not sure about the Lenovo. The Kingston SSD works very well with my HP Elitebook 2530p. No problems with installation and reloading OS and all software.
