[jeff007]

I wanna customize a Thinkpad W530, but when it comes to  Optical device: 2nd 320GB HDD, 7200rpm with Bay Adapter, what does Bay Adapter look like?

Is it ThinkPad 12.7mm Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter III, Part number:0A65623 ,

please see the detail on http://shop.lenovo.com/us/itemdetails/0A65623/460/6F86C47E2E014840BD6AC53CE9C2297A

Could anyone who got the W530 help me conform that? Your kindness will be appreciated.

Thanks Hiro!

Yes, that's the detailed specs on the support site for the Ultrabay III drive tray.  This fits W520 and W530, along with T420/T430 and T520/T530.    Looks like we just haven't updated that page to reflect the compatibility with the new models at time of this post.

Note: the T420s and T430s require a slimmer unit, and if you use the T420s or T430s bay or optical  in the other T and W's you will have a gap.
