    I have the Portege S100 with the ultra slim modular bay for optical and extra hard drive, modules, and I ordered the Toshiba HDD module, but it didn't come with the metal HDD caddy/bracket which you screw to the hard drive. So I need to order the HDD bracket part only.

    Does anyone know of good place to get this, or know what the official part number is?

    Thanks.

    It would seem to me it should come with that. I would contact Toshiba.

    The problem here is that Toshiba provides the HDD caddy with their laptop hard drive replacements, not the Ultra Slim module HDD adapter. So like in my case, if you buy another laptop hard drive (like the Seagate Momentus 120gb SATA that was just released here), then you can replace the internal laptop drive by reusing the internal drive's caddy. But if you get a Ultra Slim HDD adapter and want to use a hard drive in it that you didn't purchase from Toshiba, you somehow need to get the HDD bracket from another source. (Technically speaking my "extra" drive will sit into the adapter and connect, and I can use it, but without the bracket it is loose vertically)
