Review: Great caddy for a great line of laptops - On my T430, this caddy fits like a hand in a glove - no extra space and no jiggles. I move my laptop around quite a lot and the caddy itself feels pretty sturdy, I haven’t had any issues with it in three months. The disk seems just as snappy as it is with a traditional sata cable. I had no issues using it with Debian 9 or Ubuntu. Worked right out of the box. It’s worth noting that there is a disk indicator light on the side. It’s no annoyance but I wish it was green to match the Thinkpad aesthetic. If you need to get a caddy, don’t cheap out - pick this one up. Note: this caddy comes with rubber studs to keep the drive from moving around and they’re good quality as well.
Review: Best addition to my T430 - Like many, I had trouble with the optical drive (which I seldom if ever use anymore) after "upgrading" to Win !0 and after installing Linux mint it was not any better so I bought this ultra bay and installed it with a SSD. It is the most useful addition to this laptop. It fit as though the factory had designed it. It latches tight and ejects with the factory eject lever. The indicator light was a nice afterthought also. I mounted the drive in Linux Mint and it works like a dream. Data transfer is good, no problems. The drive fits very snug and with the rubber "screws" and the drop down latch bar at the rear of the drive, it is a perfect fit. I am very happy with the way this tray works in the T430.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great caddy for a great line of laptops
*by A***R on July 26, 2018*

On my T430, this caddy fits like a hand in a glove - no extra space and no jiggles. I move my laptop around quite a lot and the caddy itself feels pretty sturdy, I haven’t had any issues with it in three months. The disk seems just as snappy as it is with a traditional sata cable. I had no issues using it with Debian 9 or Ubuntu. Worked right out of the box. It’s worth noting that there is a disk indicator light on the side. It’s no annoyance but I wish it was green to match the Thinkpad aesthetic. If you need to get a caddy, don’t cheap out - pick this one up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best addition to my T430
*by A***R on August 15, 2019*

Like many, I had trouble with the optical drive (which I seldom if ever use anymore) after "upgrading" to Win !0 and after installing Linux mint it was not any better so I bought this ultra bay and installed it with a SSD. It is the most useful addition to this laptop. It fit as though the factory had designed it. It latches tight and ejects with the factory eject lever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than expected and simply does the job.
*by R***E on October 6, 2015*

Got this from the seller called "outian". I was worried that the drive retention method was inadequate and might require some modification, but actually it's designed quite well despite it's simplicity. There are no metal screws, but instead you slip rubber "screws" into the drive mounting holes and then simply push the drive into its mount. Inserting the drive is very easy and it snaps reassuring into position, but removal requires a tool to pry the rear of the drive up and out unless you prefer to turn the caddy upside-down and shake (not recommended). I don't consider this a problem at all and am quite satisfied with the design. The drive /probably/ doesn't have as much shock protection as the factory slot, but that's hard to say without a lab test. My caddy seems to work flawlessly. I've noticed that the hard drive it contains seems to spin down far too quickly after an access (power-saving feature), but this probably has nothing to do with the ultrabay caddy itself. Since the caddy is simply connecting SATA to SATA, I doubt that it has any control logic of its own. I haven't disassembled it to find out. There are /some/ electronics inside, though, as there's a blue LED on the side that shows HDD activity. The light is quite dim and unobtrusive on my caddy. This caddy fits quite well into the ultrabay and matches the factory look. The bevel at the bottom is not exactly the same as the factory drive cover, but it's close enough that it doesn't matter. The reduced angle seems to strengthen the cover (it's thicker at the bottom), so it's probably better than factory.
