Notes

* extra tap in Tray Adapter II prevents it from going in the bay. $60! again, (that's exactly what happens when going from PATA Adapter to SATA Adapter I. The extra piece blocks the old tray) it doesn't look like it is the big change from Adapter I's PATA to SATA.I (from the performance, it seems to be using a USB bridge. It is not really SATA on the bay end, exactly as PATA) wonder whether you can saw that extra piece of plastic off, barring electric (SATA 1.5Gbps vs SATA 3.0Gpbs?), to make it works, Adapter III supposes to work in T400 also. It is like the Sony P and H type batteries, but those can't be modified physically easily.
