    Hello everyone!
    I own a T61p, and I would like to buy a SATA adapter for my ultrabay II, to fit a SATA disk in it.
    First of all, is the an Ultrabay II the correct one for my T61p?
    Secondly, do you know any shop in the Seattle area were I can buy it?
    Thanks!

    I think you're going to have a difficult time finding one in Seattle, maybe a college/university bookstore would be your best shot. You can't use the UltraBay II because it has a SATA connector, while the T61 optical drive is uses a PATA connector. The part number you need is 40Y8725.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I would like to buy it now, today or tomorrow, so online is not an option I suppose.
    So the ultrabay for T61p has a PATA connector outside, but a SATA connector "inside" (I mean, it can host SATA hard drives). Is that correct?
