   You probably need to do a little more research before making claims like    
   this. I've run 2004 IBM Thinkpads on SSDs for years. There may be    
   incompatibilities in some drives/firmware/laptops -- for example, I could    
   get a 64 GB PATA SSD to boot in a T42 and T43, but a 128GB SSD would only    
   boot in the T43.   
      
   Thinkpads were particularly picky about drives, as they had built-in    
   features to protect drives from motion damage that required specific drives.
