    I'm looking to buy a second harddrive for my T61p and have a few questions:

    1- Does the ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter II work on the T61p or do I have to use the older one?
    2- What's the difference between these two adapters?

    Thank you!

    Cool, thanks!
    The lenovo site is confusing though, because when I search by the computer code (6459) for compatible adapters it does show the adapter II.
    Thank you!!

    I just wondered if the new one would be faster or something like that.

    The ultrabay one is just as fast as your internal sata bay
