JR:

Your subject/URL got truncated, I think.

Just about any 2.5", 12.5mm height or smaller drive will fit
a Thinkpad 600 series, including yours and my 600E. Mine came
with a 9.5mm drive and I think I would prefer to stay with
the slimmer form factor. But half-inch (thick) drives WILL fit.

If buying new, I'd be inclined to buy 7200rpm with the biggest cache
available (currently 8MB) to maximize the speed of my aging laptop.

A colleague recently did so and reports the improvement was so
noticeable, that he thought he'd be able to postpone buying a
new laptop for another year or two.

Best of luck,

Steve
