    It's a dummy piece of plastic used to occupy the ultrabay as a weight saver. I don't think it really serves this purpose well anymore because the drives are so light.

    I think the Ultrabay battery would make the most sense here.

    Because he doesn't use the drive. Otherwise why would he want a weight saver?

    He will use the battery if he puts one in there, though. And these batteries are quite light.

    OK, if the battery is so light then why not use it instead, but to each his own.

    Another thread on it.

    They sell them at Compu-Lock for $20 (ouch) here.

    Its a shame they discontinued them, its a good idea.
