I don't have the same dvd drive that you have, but I do have two different drives removed from broken laptops ( 1 - HP, the other not sure who was the manufacturer. By plugging into USB port on my Acer laptop, I can boot to a bootable CD/DVD.

I purchased an ASUS 1225B-SU17-BK 11.6-Inch Laptop, then I purchased the Asus 8x External Slim DVD+/-RW. The computer would not recognize the Asus slim drive. I returned drive to Amazon.

I has no issue installing is Lenovo X230. I expect it should work just fine in T430 also.

That should work just find. Remember that it is the OS that will or will not recognize the size of the drive(s), not the hardware in most cases. But motherboard BIOS might be questioned and looked into just to double check

No, that is for the T430s. This is the correct one for the T4302nd HDD or SSD Caddy Lenovo ThinkPad T420,T430,T510,T520,T530, W510, W520, W530 (genuine Newmodeus)

I think it would work great. I have mine on a Lenovo T410s and it works great boots up in 3-4 secs.

Yes, it will. I checked with Lenovo compatibility matrix. Anything T440 and above (including "s" and "p" subseries) will do.

Hi Ernest, Here's what I found on the Lenovo Forums site - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-mSATA-speed/td-p/767485. According to what they say here, NO, your t430 will not support this drive because the msata port is sata2 not sata 3 which is what this drive is. Good news is it does support SSD msata 2 so you need to look for an msata 2 drive....

CD/DVD drive can not be installed in to the laptop. But, External slim DVD/RW drive can be purchased and connected through USB port, it works fine. I like this option as nowadays DVD/RW drive is rarely required and it can be kept aside.

Yes. I am running my OS on this drive. I had to switch to legacy boot mode to get it to work.

Yes, you can load a dvd burner or rom into this enclosure. Just make sure you BIOS is set to boot from a USB device, and you should be set in install Windows. Hope this helps you!

I think the only thing you have to worry about is the type of interface your laptop supports. This drive is an IDE interface, so if the specs on your laptop say it supports an IDE drive interface you should be fine...

Yep, T60's use Sata connections so you'll be fine there. Also, all Thinkpads use 2 rubber pieces that attach to each side of the HDD lengthwise. Since the SSD's tend to be thinner, you may need to attach the piece that comes with the SSD's to make them "thicker" and fit into these spaces where a HDD used to be.

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

Hi,Please read the following Question Regarding your laptop Thinkpad T400http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T400-SSD-Upgrade-questions/td-p/788391and the Crucial M500 thickness is 9.5mm http://www.crucial.com/pdf/tech_specs-letter_crucial_m4_ssd_v3-11-11_online.pdfso I think it can replace your Main Disk without any problem.for the external you will need additional Kit.best regards,

It's compatible. You'd need to get a hard drive caddy to replace the DVD drive or replace the internal 1 TB, though.

As I see in the specifications if i3147-3750slv uses standard laptop drive therefore it should work. You need to know that size of SSD is smaller drive that you have in your laptop which will not be a problem with most of times unless you have lot of data in the drive. You will notice significant improvement in booting time and performance when you switch to SSD. You also need to find a way to transfer operating system an data to new drive either from recovery drive or cloning software which usually come with the drive or can be downloaded from manufacturer website.PG
