are ultrabay devices common from T400 --> T420s?

[ljwobker]

I've got a T400 with the following ultrabay devices: the CD/DVD burner, the hard drive SATA adapter, and a battery.

Are any/all/none of these devices usable in the T420s?

I looked through the lenovo webpage but if there's a decoder ring there somewhere, I couldn't find it...

thanks!

AFAIK.... T420s is lots SLIMer than normal T4xx,,,, and thus CD/dvd = no go. I have a t420s Blueray writer , that i can use (works) in a t410/t400 but is kinda weird as there is a BIG GAP when that blurray(from t420s) is slotted in the T4xx model....(one being 12mm high other being 9mm)
afaik.....battery from t420s wont fit ... not sure what two models

for me its very frustrating as lenovo sales NOR tech support can easily answer these 'compatibility/intercange' questions> seems noone wants to or CAN ANSWER these types of questions......

sorry for the rant! - see my other issue here

Hope this helps..

Looks like the T420s uses the Serial Ultrabay Slim, like the T400s/T410s, so devices from T400 should be compatible.
