Compatibility

I am planning on getting one of the last x61t, they can be had cheap and without Windows (DOS) now.

I read that some Thinkpad BIOSes are not compatible to the Seagate Momentus FDE models that use a BIOS password (R60 was named).

Can we use this site not only as a point for information about FDE drives that came installed the the Thinkpad but also about which drives to fit into which Thinkpads running which BIOS version? I would start, but have not made the jump yet to order a x61t and a ST9320329AS.
