You probably need to do a little more research before making claims like 
this. I've run 2004 IBM Thinkpads on SSDs for years. There may be 
incompatibilities in some drives/firmware/laptops -- for example, I could 
get a 64 GB PATA SSD to boot in a T42 and T43, but a 128GB SSD would only 
boot in the T43.

Thinkpads were particularly picky about drives, as they had built-in 
features to protect drives from motion damage that required specific drives.
