No, the dimensions are not the same.
Ultrabay Slim is 9.5mm thick. Ultrabay 2K is 12.7mm thick.

Different connector on the back of the drive or device as well

Yes, indeed --the Ultrabay Slim and Ultrabay 2000 adaptors ARE different sizes.

Even IBM's telephone support tends to be clueless about this.

So, when you are asked by IBM telephone support (as I was) to take the second hard drive --located in the Ultrabay 2000 adaptor of the Dock II for example-- and place it in the Ultrabay Slim port of the ThinkPad, you may verify for yourself and IBM telephone support that Ultrabay 2000 is a bigger slot...because it won't fit in the Ultrabay Slim port of your ThinkPad.
