Thinkpad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter

[pokanes]

I would like to install a second hard drive in my T61. I saw a thread that advised I can do this by purchasing a "Thinkpad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter". The thread also had a link where one can be purchased. However, the page displayed by the link said that the product was unavailable. Do I have any other options for installing a second hard drive? Will this adapter become available for purchase in the future? I want to install solaris or Linux on the second drive and boot from it, I assume this is possible. Thanks.

i don't think lenovo is producing these anymore, you will have to try your luck on ebay or get a second hand on marketplace on forum.thinkpads.com

Is 40Y8725 the right model for the T61?
