Will this work with the T540p? I read that it is not OEM. Does the front of the drive match up to the form of the T540p or is it noticeably different?

THE T540P drive is NOT fixed, i just remove mine, but it turns out it's more slim than the one i got. so i am still trying to find one that fit the t540P

I'm afraid not since AFAIK, the optical drive on the ThinkPad T540p is fixed, not user-removable like the older models that adopts the Ultrabay technology.

I just put a 3TB Seagate drive in one of these and it worked. One of my laptops had a weird issue, but other machines did not. TDMSERVICE.EXE consumed massive amounts of RAM (3+GB) a few times before it acted normal. A different laptop of the same make/model did not have the same problem. That first laptop has issues adding hardware anyways, so I don't think it's a combination of the enclosure and drive.

I just installed it in my daughter's Toshiba laptop last night with the same series of laptop you mention. Just don't lose the screws when you take the other hard drive out. I am assuming that you will clone the original to it. Or load an OS with it. Either way my daughter is up and running all day just fine!

It should work fine, it looks like the stock hard drive on that model was a SATA II at 5400 RPM's. So this model should work just fine as a replacement.

Excuse me for being a little acerbic here but it is the Lenovo Thinkpad t61 and GOOGLE is the place to ask. I found the complete specifications and while reading through I was impressed with the wishy-washy presentation. If you have ever swapped drives in a laptop you are ahead of the game but it sounds to me as these jobs are thin, really thin, so take a good look at it first. This drive is a standard size laptop 2.5 drive, nothing special about it.

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, the drive is for a Drobo Raid and it's not something that concerned me when I made the purchase. It was however physically an exact match to the Older drive it replaced, I hope that helps.

Yes and no, I have two of them (2TB and 4TB), the 2TB is 7200 but the 4TB is 5900. It appears all of them are 7200 except for the 4TB.The models of the actual (internal) drives are ST2000DM001 and ST4000DM000. In case you want to google some more.

I guess you need to buy the one from Crucial, I bought one non-branded that came from a HP Laptop with the same specs as the OEM but 2 gb and didn't work, good luck!

Sorry for the late reply - I have been travelling. The drive was described as a Seagate ST33000650NS. The supplier phoned and asked if it was OK to provide an HP branded equivalent MB33000EBKAB. I accepted. The part arrived - was brand new. The label had BOTH part numbers on it - so I was happy. If you check the Seagate site you will find that the drive is an ES.2 not an ES.3. Main difference is the amount of cache. ES.2 has 64MB and ES.3 has 128MB. The description was accurate, the title should not have referenced ES3. I am happy anyway - great drive.

Hello sir, i am almost positive that your R542 PID fits in between that criteria for NOT being compatible unfortunately. As i read the description it says all PISs between R001-R199 and R636-R999 ARE compatible. All PIDs between R200 - R635 will NOT be compatible.....I got lucky with mine but noticed that it still runs pretty hot like my last one that lost and killed the LED lights inside of it. I hope this helps you out Sir.

Hi PGF, Part number KVR16LS11/4 matches the required memory specifications of the Lenovo ThinkPad W540. As such, it would be compatible with it. Thank you for choosing Kingston as your upgrade partner! -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

I would assume the hard drives fit. My problem is in the picture of the bay adapter there is a piece of plastic that protrudes from the back. In order for the adapter to work this needs to be there. They sent me a different adapter and it's the adapter that does not work in the T430S because this part is missing. Hope that makes sense. If they ship what is pictured it should work.

I have the Lenovo E540 and it has Hyundai Electronics (SK Hynix) 4gb 1600mhz PC3-12800 DDR3L Part# HMT351S6EFR8A-PB. http://www.skhynix.com/products/computing/view.jsp?info.ramKind=20&info.serialNo=HMT351S6EFR8A The Kingston 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3L will work just fine in the E545, it works great in the E540. If you don't get the Kingston memory and choose another brand make sure to get 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3L, the (L) stands for low voltage = 1.35v and it should work fine, if you don't get DDR3L it may not boot, I'm a computer tech and have run into this problem with clients who wanted to do it themselves.

I can't say for that specific model laptop...however it IS physically identical to almost every laptop manufacturer's Original optical drives. You can always order one and see...if it doesn't work, simply return it.

According to several sites, the T430 should accept "Serial Ultrabay Slim" accessories, which is of the same type as my T400. The sites also say newer Thinkpads with the "Serial Ultrabay Slim Enhanced" should accept this device, albeit with a small horizontal gap at the top. This device works great in my T400, with a finish almost identical to the OEM look. Windows detects it as a removable drive for hot swapping ability. I have used it with a few different SATAIII hard disks and SSD of the typical 2.5" 9.5mm height variety. As a testament to the simplicity of the electronics in this product, I also disassembled the caddy, took out the raw board, and used just the board to replace the DVD drive with an SSD inside of my MacBook Pro. Really there's nothing complicated to this unit -- it's sturdy and it fits great in the T400.

It should work just fine. Totally backwards compatible. I partitioned mine, my wife and I share 3TB, 2.0 USB for both. Works great! Enjoy!
