[Thinkpad] drive speed

I've got several Thinkpads, but I believe that I'm running the Seagate in 
the T.
That one got real peppy when I switched drives.

The A30 is still a tad sluggish, but I attribute that to all the crud 
running on it, including an older version of Novell client. One of these 
days I'll spring for a real modern laptop, though I cannot give up this 
three spindle.

The T is much easier to lug around on a daily basis, and it might get 
replaced by a newer one........eventually.
