PATA ultrabay HDD adapter? Only for T43?

#1 Post by kulivontot » Thu Aug 10, 2006 11:24 pm

If I need a PATA ultrabay adapter for my T60, do I need to buy the T43 version? I've read that the T43 adapter does work in the T60, but is there a PATA version made for specifically for the T60? Should I just go ahead and order the the T43 PATA ultrabay HDD adapter?

The T43 HDD adapter works on the T60.

Functionally it works fine, but the T43 one the bezel has a diagonal slope to it half way down, where as the T60 is straight down.

Where can I buy one of these adapters on the cheap? Lenovo seems to no longer sell these on their website. I have yet to call lenovo though. Froogle and ebay both find these adapters for around $50. Anyone know where I can find one cheaper? Also, some of the adapters being sold appear to be third-party and not official IBM hardware. Dodes anyone have any experience with these adapters? Thanks.

The official ones should still be available from Lenovo (pn 62P4554), i notice they don't seem to be for sale anymore on the US site but you should be able to get them from any dealer, they are £26 in the UK so would imagine about $50.
