If I'm not mistaken, I've put 20 and 40 gb drives on these 760 notebooks
and they work fine.

I'm a big fan of "stock", so I did
some research and looks like the
"high-end" drive for this thing back in the day was the 3.0GB IBM
DLGA-23080. I'd also picked up an after-market drive caddy, but as it
turns out the DLGA-23080 is too tall for the caddy... Anyone know if the
DLGA-23080 had a special caddy, and where I might find the right one
that's genuine IBM? Or, am I completely mistaken and the "stock" 3.0GB
drive for the ThinkPad 760XD is a different model? I can't find a good
FRU list anywhere...
According to the datasheet, the DLGA-23080 is a 17mm high drive, which
certainly won't fit very many laptops. Only a few manufacturers had
machines which would accept these type of "enterprise" drives. Because of
the large number of platters (typically 4) I can't recommend these at all
for use today due to reliability issues.
4GB drives appear to have become somewhat scarce, but a quick search
turned up some of these IBM FRUs and model numbers. Although they might
not have been original to that specific machine, if you want to just find
a drive that "works" and is somewhat reliable, these series drives might
be a place to start. I think all of these are 9.5mm or 12.5mm, but I've
not verified that so you'll need to double check.
