ThinkPad W701 can have 32GB RAM (via: Google Search)

Posted by jpluimers on 2013/04/11

Earlier this week, I posted abut ThinkPad W701: Win7 Ultimate x64 suddenly only saw 8GB RAM of 16GB (via: [H]ard|Forum).

One of the search results in my query indicated it would be possible to put 32GB in it.

That’s nice, as the official Lenovo ThinkPad W701 specs and Lenovo ThinkPad W701 2500 Overview & Specs – Laptops – CNET Reviews indicate it should max out with 16GB.

This Google search returns lots of results indicating people actually run it with 32GB RAM using 4x8GB memory modules:

This recently happened to me, but not sure when it started:

My ThinkPad W701 had 16GB of RAM, and everything worked fine for about 2 years, but now the BIOS and Windows only saw 8GB of it.

The odd thing: SpeedFan would see 4 memory modules of 4 gigabyte each for a total of 16 gigabyte.

This solution helped:

the easiest (and most embarrassing) fix worked – just took out the new RAM sticks and re-seated them into different sockets instantly fixed the problem.

The steps I followed: Read the rest of this entry »

HDD market seems recovered, and WD introduced 4 TB 3.5 HDDs: when are 2.5 inch 12.5 mm 1.5+ TB drives coming?

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/09/30

Last week this was in HDD news:

I asked it before 6 months ago, and wonder: how long will it take for 12.5 mm 2.5 inch SATA HDDs to arrive on the market that have 1.5 TB or more capacity?

Yes, I know about the WD20NPVT, but the WD20NPVT is 2.5 inch and 15 mm high.

they easily could manufacture these configurations:

won’t work on a ThinkPad W701: DisplayPort Adapter Cables 45J7915, 57Y4393 Compatibility – ThinkPad W700/W701

Posted by jpluimers on 2012/02/27

Dang this won’t work:

The ThinkPad W700/W701 DisplayPort is a DisplayPort-only source, not a Dual-Mode source, and thus cannot support the DisplayPort adapter cables.
