    How exactly does this ultra bay work? In a W530 with a dvd drive, does it have a quick release or something to allow quick hot swapping? Ive had dell latitudes with something like this but am not sure what the ultrabay means in a lenovo.

    Yes. That's pretty much the way it worked on all ThinkPads with an UltraBay over the past decade.

    It is both my duty and pleasure as an old-tiime-ThinkPadder to respectfully provide the best information available to ThinkPad newbies, without expecting anything in return, so I welcome the graciousness of your response and will treasure it in a special place in my aging memory for eternity or at least until the first signs of Alzheimer's kick in...
