Hi

Does anyone know if a Thinkpad T30 2366-86U would recognize a 320gb hard drive.

It should as long as it's a PATA drive.

If it's storage you're after, why not consider purchasing a SATA USB enclosure, and a SATA hard drive. Newegg carries a ton of these. You can sort of kill two birds with one stone as the newer laptops use SATA and you would then have something you can throw into a newer laptop if/when you ever get one. Providing of course, the laptop you purchase uses SATA drives. Just something to think about.
