    I just purchased a ThinkPad W520. I added a 120gb msata and swapped out the standard internal drive for a 750gb one. I then put an additional 750gb drive in the ultrabay i ordered. T

    The problem is I only seem to be able to have one drive working at a time.

    If i pull out the internal drive the ultrabay drive works fine, if i put the internal drive back in the ultrabay drive stops working. I am not trying to put them in a raid configuration, I just want two separate drives inside the machine to carry a lot of data.

    has anybody had any issues like this?
