Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard about such thing as a "maximu=
m=20
disk capacity", beside the capabilities of the disk interface specification=

itself that is. It's not (yet!) a problem since the famous 4GB limit broken=

some 10 years ago. For the T23 there is no other boundary beside the=20
maximum disk size for PATA interface (earlier referred to as IDE or EIDE)=20
offered by device manufacturers. The 2.5" PATA disks available now all have=

uniform height, so any one should fit. Early 2.5" disks were thicker. As fa=

as I know that would be 120GB, right? I plan on getting one for my T23 as=20
the new PATA disks are just about to get out of market, and I have a 40GB=20
drive now (which would go to the USB disk case for backup storage). I'm=20
just considering wether to get a 5400rpm or a 7200rpm model. I guess I'll=20
go for the latter, as I use my laptop on AC power almost all the time.=20
