    Hello,

    I have a thinkpad T520 and I recently purchased the "ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter III" from lenovo.com however it didn't come with a hard drive caddy like the internal drive has.

    This is the hard drive caddy it requires.

    Thinkpad X60 X60s X61s Hard Drive 2.5 Caddy Kit YG35A | eBay

    Without this the drive will rattle/move around in the bay adapter and not have a firm fit.

    It seems very odd to me that lenovo didn't include this considering that it seems to be required.

    I paid $60 for that bay adapter and I see those drive caddies going for as low as $4 on ebay.

    Does anyone know a place where I can get one that does not in anyway involve ebay or paypal?

    I can't seem to find them on lenovo's site other than having to buy one of their hard drives that seem to include one.

    Yes, they come with the Lenovo hard drives. I bought a spare Lenovo drive and it came with the caddy (rubber rails).

    I suggest you just buy from ebay.
