yes but you need an drive shell to do this 
which costs around 50 bucks
or you can  buy an IBM options drive

any 2.5" ~18mm IDE drive should work

same as above you must not only have a shell for the drive but also
a 2nd hard disk adaptor that you can buy from IBM (also around 50 
bucks as i recall)

I do this to run linux on one drive and keep a windows filesystem 
available and mountable in the ultrabay.

good luck
