Lenovo T60 upgrade to SSD?

I wish to upgrade my Lenovo T60 to SSD. 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820167005 This review indicates that someone with a Lenovo T60 failed to get Intel's 64GB MLC SSD to work in his Thinkpad.  This makes me wonder, does Lenovo have restrictions that disalllow the use of "non-approved" by Lenovo devices?  We already have to use the cmos hack to use 3rd party wireless cards in a Thinkpad, for example.

Anyone know if Lenovo truly does lock down the hard drive interface to only certain "approved" drives?
