    Does anyone know where I can get a travel bezel /weight saver for the Thinkpad T520? I don't use the DVD/optical drive and looking to save some weight.

    Lenovo doesn't sell any accessories that fit the 12.7mm drive bay properly (all they seem to have is 9.5mm caddies, travel bezels, etc).

    Maybe a 3rd party accessory, but nothing from Lenovo which is rather dumb on their part... as if the 12.7mm drive bays aren't meant to be taken out or something. :mad:

    Oh wow! Well it seems that's the ticket! Quick check on the net shows the part to be 12.7mm but could not find the part mentioned anywhere else on Lenovo's site.
