I have just bought the last generation of SSD from OCZ and my ThinkPad doesn't recognize it. Why? Even if I change the SATA setting in the BIOS.
The only thing that hate from my laptop is the slowness of the Hard Drive.
I saw an update for T61, why not the T60.

avoid using OCZ SSDs and any ssds which have unusually cheap price per gb than the average on the market. They're not SATA drive replacements, just SATA partially compatible, usually can't properly support AHCI, S.M.A.R.T. and other modern sata standards and interface modes. this may cause incompatibility with a certain controllers and increases risks of possible data losses.
currently lenovo officially supports only Samsung SSD drives, you may order them directly from lenovo (officially supported parts) or buy directly from Samsung (should also work). OCZ's old (before core series) are actually samsung drives, they even have the same chip model numbers.
OCZ core series is a crap and waste of money. I've recently bought two ocz drives, both produced error 2100, both were sent back to the store, still awaiting for one refund. The best thing you can do it's to do the same.

I make it work but it is very hard to get the SSD fully seated and plugged in (not with the T61). On 25 try, I succeed only once and without the rubber support.
