    There are tons of them on ebay. There are a few different types, depending on your thinkpad model. I suspect the T480 uses the square post style like older T series thinkpads, but I don’t know. Basically, look carefully at the pics to make sure you get the right kind.

    If you want OEM ones, try lenovo.com, but they will cost more.


  • If this is for live disks or mirrors (not backup), LUKS is reasonable. Backup is different from mirroring since one of the things it protects you from is accidentally deleting files. If you delete a file from your main drive, it also disappears from the mirror drive, so mirrors are not backup. For encrypted backup, I’ve been using Borg backup which is quite well thought out, though confusing at first. The backups go on a remote server which is ok since they are all encrypted.
