Hi Everyone,
Trust all is well and hope we are all ready and excited for Christmas.
I have a T420S (i was from a T40, X40, X61 background). I used to be able to get a dummy caddy or a plastic cover for weight saving purposes. But this time i dont seem to be able to get that. Anyone has any idea whether I can get a cover for my T420S Ultrabay port?
Cheers,
Nelson

I do not think that the newer ThinkPad's have that option like the Fujitsu LifeBook's do. You could try using a HDD adapter and then removing the metal part of the tray and insert the plastic.

The HMM says that the T420s uses the same travel bezel as the T410/T410i, and it has an FRU part number: 45M2657
