4.0 out of 5 stars Also needs primary caddy mount, June 23, 2005

This review is from: IBM ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim (Personal Computers)

This product works fine. However, it is designed to be used with a hard drive that already has a caddy on it that is designed to be used with the primary drive on IBM laptops. The drive will not fit properly in this adapter without the primary caddy.

This review is from: IBM ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim (Personal Computers)

The adapter works great. It fits very snuggly in my T42p, and is a little difficult to remove because of that, but in all other respects it works great.

There is no need for a caddy of any sort with this device. The drive will fit in and work fine with nothing at all added. It *will* fit more snuggly with two-four screws in the screw holes on the side of the drive, but either way will suffice, and neither requires special hardware.

As the page claims, this is for the *T40* series of laptops, and fits in an ultrabaySLIM slot, which is significantly smaller than the ultrabay slots found on the R50, some docking stations, and many older thinkpads. If you find a 1/4" gap after installing the adapter, then you bought the wrong adapter. The product number & description on this page are correct.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Thinkpad R50p, March 15, 2005

By

This review is from: IBM ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for Ultrabay Slim (Personal Computers)

This may be the perfect adapter for other Thinkpads, but on the R50p, a 1/4" gap remains in the Ultrabay and the hard drive bounces around. This is not IBM part no. 62P4554 as Amazon would have you believe!
