    I believe the new ulltrabay is now SATA, so it shouldn't make a difference. Although I think that SSD in the internal bay would be the best.

    The shock rubbers fit fine on the SSD in my T400. I also have the OCZ SLC 64 GB Sata II(rebadged Samsung) and the shock rubbers fits.

    Related question and didn't feel like adding a new thread that will probably be answered in 1 reply.

    Will a SATA hard drive operate at or SATA speeds in the ultrabay adapter? Because it seems a better deal for the adapter (if/when I replace my current hard drive or find a cheap one) if it operates faster than USB 2.0, eSATA, or Firewire.
