    Are there any? Bought an y410p equipped with a gt755m but I'm confused as to whether or not a gt755m ultrabay option is available for y410ps because of this NVIDIA GeForce GT755M Second VGA BIOS Update for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Y410p, Y510p yet I'm reading it's imcompatible and the only graphic 755m ultrabay option is out for the y510p.
    Also if not, what can I do with the ultrabay that exists. I got the option without an ssd and I was wondering if I could swap out the dvd burner for something else. I can't seem to find an accessory for it anywhere. Makes me wonder why they even put in the option of an ultrabay? God hate shopping when I'm half asleep.

    Your basically out of luck unfortunately. You can buy a generic HDD caddy and put it in the ultrabay (swapping the face plate) but besides that there really isn't much you can use it for. Lenovo basically stopped making ultrabay accessories accept for the 750/755m cards.
