    I don't supposed the DVDR ultrabay has a USB connection?

    If not, I"m gonna call in and eliminate the X200 ultrabase and the DVDR ultrabay from my order...and instead get an ext DVDRW (I wouldn't want to drag around an ultrabase in my laptop case just so I have access to the DVDR!).

    Instead of getting Lenovo ext USB 2.0 Super Multi-Burner Drive, can anyone recommend a decent ext DVDRW that cost less than the Lenovo? One that uses USB ports and don't need any external power supply.

    You will not find one that does not need an external power supply. USB simply does not provide enough power by itself.
