    I'm thinking of putting in a 500GB drive in my ultrabay. Instead of paying Lenovo's outragous prices want to get a retail one elsewhere. In looking at the pics there seems to be some kind of cable/bracket which comes with Lenovo's drives? Concerned about the drive moving around mainly or shorting out on metal to metal with the aftermarket retail drive.
