{{NOTE|This SATA HDD adapter only works with select ThinkPads as listed below, for other machines with UltraBay Slim, use the PATA base [[UltraBay Slim HDD Adapter]] instead.}}

=== Part numbers ===
Marketing PN: 40Y8725
FRU PN: 26R9246

=== Linux support ===
The adapter contains a PATA to SATA bridge chip, which means that although the disk is SATA it connects as a PATA (IDE) device.

If connected at boot time, the drive is normally located at {{path|/dev/sdb}}

=== Supported with ===
*ThinkPad {{R60}}
*ThinkPad {{T60}}, {{T60p}}, {{T61}}
*ThinkPad {{Z60m}}, {{Z60t}}, {{Z61m}}, {{Z61p}}
*ThinkPad {{X60}}, {{X60s}} with UltraBase X6
*[[ThinkPad Advanced Dock]]

=== Unsupported use with ===
The adapter has a black plastic grommet at the back that restricts its use to the 60 series ThinkPads. Some people have successfully removed this grommet with a pair of channel lock pliers, or sliced it off with a Dremel after which it will fit into older ThinkPads like the T40 series. This works because the adapter actually bridges the SATA HDD to PATA as those older machines have no SATA support.

This has been tested with the following ThinkPads, although this is obviously not supported!
*ThinkPad {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}, {{T43}}, {{T43p}}
