Ultrabay is a name for the technology of the expansion slot, where you can
exchange various devices (not really hot-swap). It is described on the 
ThinkWiki
web pages.

There were several versions of Ultrabay - so you need a compatible version,
not just some Ultrabay device.

The Ultrabay hard drives are normal drives in a special frame - you may buy
separately a frame and a disc.
