Yes you can go with this hard drive which you have listed in your post. As they are compatible with the Lenovo ThinkPad T60p. So i will advise you to install the any of the hard drive and given and then check with the Rescue and Recovery in the ThinkVantage suite that the device is having any issue or not.

I am having more issue which is regarding the use of hard drive which i have asked about. Actually i have gone through an article which is having the discussion about the Hard drive which is not the thinkpad one. It discuss about not using the non thinkpad hard drive as this can be harmful for the device. I don't want to take any risk with my laptop. So any one is having good knowledge about the same help me.

I have also gone through some of the article on the internet which is having the description not using the Hard drive of other then Lenovo in their Lenovo laptop. And i also want to upgrade my hard drive. But not sure after going through this description about the hard drive. If possible then give the reason why to use other hard drive

It is not necessary to use the hard drive of Lenovo if you are not happy with the Lenovo then you can choose any hard drive but that must be compatible with the device of yours. Will recommend you to go with the Lenovo as it is branded and manufacturer of your device so not having any compatibility issue but in case you wanted to use other then also you can go with the same.
