Re: [Thinkpad] Travelstar Hard drive support closed?

the shock protection thing is only on newer thinkpad models..
T40 series and the like..
then there is the drop protection on the T41 series and newer thinkpad T
series..
it senses the accelleration from desktop to floor and parks the heads before
landing..
