Thinkpad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter

I would like to install a second hard drive in my T61. I saw a thread that advised I can do this by purchasing a "Thinkpad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter". The thread also had a link where one can be purchased. However, the page displayed by the link said that the product was unavailable. Do I have any other options for installing a second hard drive? Will this adapter become available for purchase in the future? I want to install solaris or Linux on the second drive and boot from it, I assume this is possible. Thanks.

according to the Lenovo website, yes it is the right model for the T61.

    my problem is
    imac works fine in safe mode,
    but when you try to startup normal it's connstantly restart by it self.

    in safe mode works perfectly,soon as I try to boot in normal mode it's keep restarting.on screen I don't  see any line vertical or horizontal picture look normal on safe mode.but unable to start normal it just restarting over and over.I try another HDD but same things happen,I replace memory but still same.works ok in safe mode but not in normal mode.I will try to post system error report.

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • 7200rpm serial ata hard drive

    hey guys
    i am trying to get a new hard drive for my macbook pro 15'
    does anybody know any 2.5' 7200rpm serial ata hard drive out there?
    or recommand any type, brand?
    thanks

    I dont think one is inferior over the other. I know someone with a hitachi and it is doing quite well, no problems at all.
    The upgrade from a 5400rpm to a 7200rpm is drastically noticeable. That and RAM are the most noticeable updates that will increase performance.
    You might also want to look into the new hybrid hardrives that are almost on the market:

    can the hdd in the subject line be used with a T40? thanks, al

    it will not work in the primary drive bay.   your T40 uses a parallel ATA interface and the drive mentioned has a serial ATA interface.

  • New Serial - ATA Hard Drive Partitioned with OS 10.5.4 and OS 10.3.9

    Dear forum,
    I'm looking at this Internal Hard Drive - 609480 Hitachi T7K500 320GB 7200RPM SATA 3GB/s 16MB Cache - OEM - I need to obtain the 4 guide screws before I fit it in the lower bay of my G5. Is this hard drive approved by Apple?
    I need to verify with the forum that if I partition the new 320GB HD in two (2 x 160 GB partitions) and run OS 10.3.9 Classic environment on one partition and 10.5.4 on the other partition that this will present no technical problems for my G5 Dual Processor computer.

    There should have been screws already in your G5.
    I would not mix Leopard and Panther on the same drive. Even Tiger used a different partition table than Leopard now does. Could run Panther from 2nd drive or FW800 as an option.
    Best drive I have come across for now:
    http://www.barefeats.com/harper14.html
    Sells for $79 @ www.macsales.com and lower than Newegg
    As long as it is a bare or white box drive it should be fine (sometimes Dell and HP get customized drives that are more system specific though usually not a problem).

  • What is the Read/Write speed for a 250gb Serial ATA hard drive?

    Hello. I've been having some problems via my Mac (Kernel panic at start up) and is thinking wether or not it is the hard drive.
    Does anyone know what the Write speed is for the specified hard drive. I'm currently getting about 5 mbps and that feels a bit slow
    I'm on a Macbook Pro mid 2009 model.
    Thanks in advance
    Ashley.

    I haven't got the logs. I had to reinstall everything in order to get it to start up (Couldn't find ACPI?)
    And I'm only asking because it seems like my laptop HD is running slow. Is it normally about 5mbps for a 5400rpm HDD?

  • T510/520 Drive Bay Adapter III and SSD compatibility

    Hi,
    I would like to use a Drive Bay Adapter III with some SSD as second drive on my T510 and T520 (I would switch it between those two laptops, use it to transfer data and so on). Are there any compatibility issues out there? Should I avoid certain SSD controllers or is it perfectly the same if I go for Sandforce or Marvell or any other?
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Hello flashheart:
    The Drive Bay Adapter III or Ultrabay adaptor (#0A65623) would replace the optical drive, which you probably are already aware of. There should not be any compatibility issues with either of those controllers but I have read many instances in the forum that the Sandforce controller is probably the fastest.
    Some more information on the adapter:

  • Thinkpad 256GB Solid State Drive 43N3417 won't fit into Drive Bay Adapter 43N3412

    According to Document ID  PD010634, http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-73170 and Document ID  PD013418, http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73173 it should fit with the 1.8" to 2.5" converter.
    When I try to fit the drive into the Drive Bay Adapter, it won't fit.  It is like the plastic housing is just a little too big.  The adapted drive end appears to be correct, but the housing is just a little too big.  I don't want to force it and break something.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks so much.

    Hello,
    please try the following procedure.
    Then SSD must be installed in your TP. Then clone your image from extern disc to internal SSD.
    The other way, from internal to external , won´t work.

  • T430s 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy not working

    Hi all,
    I bought 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy for my T430s but it does not seem to work.
    The HDDs I placed in it do not even start to spin, and they are not recognized by the laptop BIOS as also by my OSes, Windows and Linux.
    The label on the caddy says it is P/N 26r9247, but at this stage I'm not sure is a compatible part or if I got just a faulty item.
    Any feedback?
    Solved!

    That part number (26R9247) is for the older T60/61 Thinkpads.  You need the Ultrabay III adapter.  Look at 43N3412.

  • W530 Drive Bay Adapter and Drive Caddy

    I purchased a W530 and immediatly swapped out the included hard drive for an SSD. I also purchased the drive bay adapter and planned on moving that original drive to it, but it did not come with a drive caddy. If the drive bay does not come with an extra one, and hard drives do not come with them.... why was it not included? Where do I purchase one? Does it need those rubber sides that are now around the SSD?

    Hey Chuntley,
    If you search around the forums you will find a lot of post on this or close to this subject about installing a second drive to W530.

  • Ultra ATA hard drives???

    So i have a 120gb Ultra ATA hard drive so i bought a casing to make it an external HD but it would not show up in disk utility or my desktop. So i took a regular ATA HD and it worked fine. my question is does apple not support Ultra ATA or is there somthing else i need to do to get it show up?

    What are the manufacturer's recommended jumper settings for the drive when installed in an enclosure?
    It should work as long as the drive settings are correct and the enclosure is getting enough juice - either through the ports or a power adapter.

  • Ultra ATA Hard Drive

    I bought a Ultra ATA Hard Drive for my Mac and the connections are different. I looked up online that you can buy an adapter to switch it over to a Mac compatible connection. Will this work fine and be just as good as if it was normally this connection? Thank you very much.

    ... or go out and now buy FW case - you still need backups - and make sure to get an SATA drive, one that doesn't have Spread Spectrum Clocking enabled (such as Seagate 7200.9) when looking.
    Maxtor DM10 or MaxLine III; Hitachi T7K250 or 7K500; WD Raptor.
    I think there was something about the WD400 mentioned on
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com - check their drive upgrade database whenever considering a new drive and see what others have done/learned.

  • Ejecting problem on my 2nd SATA Hard Drive Bay Caddy

    I am having an ejecting problem with my caddy secondary HD.
    Basically every time I close the lid, the secondary HD is ejected or, in case ejecting fails, I obtain an error message..very annoying situation.
    How can windows 7 avoid to eject it? Do you know a best practice to configure properly the 2nd SATA Hard Drive Bay Caddy??
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can my macbook 4, 1 handle a 2tb hard drive if it fits into the hard drive bay?

    Can my macbook 4, 1 handle a 2tb hard drive if it fits into the hard drive bay?
    Does the hard drive brand matter as lon as the har drive fits in the slot?
    I want to put a 2tb hard drive in my macbook 4, 1 but I am not sure if the hard drive will work.
    Can my computer handle that big of a hard drive?

    "If it fits" will be the limiting factor. The largest capacity that I know of that will fit is 1.5 TB.
    OWC sold this 1 TB 12.5 mm WD hard disk a while ago that allegedly fit your MacBook4,1 so it stands to reason you won't be limited to a 9.5 mm dimension. The only 2 TB drives that I know of are 15 mm thick and will definitely not fit your MacBook. If and when you can find a 2 TB HDD in the required form factor it will work.
