    I've been all over the Lenovo site looking for an external enclosure for UltraBay II devices, but can't find one. Do they not sell anything like that? I plan to use the UltraBay for a second hard drive. I won't be able to swap it out for the optical drive to install software, if the software needs to go on the second hard drive, obviously. HP sells one for their machines, so I just figured Lenovo would too.

    Yeah, I can buy the SATA-II HDD adapter for the UltraBay when configuring the machine. What I need is an external enclosure in which to house the now displaced optical drive. Without that, I'm forced to buy an additional DVD-R/W drive (external), rendering the internal drive that I was forced to buy with the machine useless.
