WiFi card rejected by Lenovo X220
Expected it to work in Thinkpad x220. It fits. Bios 1.42 rejects the card and refuses to boot or even enter the bios. The Thinkpad recovered after removing it. The problem: the x220 needs FRU 60Y3233, not 60Y3232. I missing the off-by-one FRU. It is my fault, I ordered the wrong part. However, the part I got was new, first quality, with SCREWS! Looks like it might fit into a family T410.

Samsung 6GB/s SSD miniSata PM851 performs as expected
Installed in 3GB/s minSata slot inside Lenovo x220. It is dual boot Win7 + LinuxMint17.3.
Speeds about 60% of SATA III [because in a slower slot], but access times very fast, so
the speed is apparent, little heat, no noise, no weight. The Samsung 500 EVO SSD in the
drive bay runs at 540/520 while the PM851 runs 270/140, using LinuxMint DISKS utility
benchmark. These read/write speeds have little to do with daily usage, which is closer
to 4K benchmarks. The PM851 serves as a failsafe boot, in case the 500GB SSD fails. The reverse is true; if the PM851 fails, then the 500GB SSD will boot. Ditto for critical data, stored on both drives with daily backup. Windows 7 on the PM851 used GPARTED to copy a partition from spinning disk, then a Win7 install CD was used to repair the MBR so Win7 could boot from the PM851. The dual boot uses chainloading with a GRUB2 menu installed by LinuxMint.
There have been no issues with the PM851 hardware.

Wireless and wired La Crosse temp sensor
1 of 1 found this helpful Connected wired sensor to freezer, sending unit atop the frig. Transmits temps to the base display unit. Also tried leaving the sending unit inside the refrigerator with wired sensor taped in place, inside the separate freezer compartment. The base unit display is either all F or all C degrees, no mix possible. The sending unit has no setup, display is C degrees, no options or change possible. The two temps displayed on the sending unit, one for ambient temp of the sending unit, one for the wired sensor, flash alternately like a cross-walk signal, in degrees C. If the base unit dies, then the sending unit still functions, unlike other products. If the sending unit dies, then the base unit still functions, displaying indoor temp, time, humidity.
