I have a Crucial M4 mSATA SSD for my Y500. Works great, I dropped Win7 on it and am using legacy boot. UEFI was too confusing for me Although, I'm sure you can have it setup to use UEFI on the mSATA.

Not sure if it is required, but to be safe and have my bootloader installed properly, I disconnected the HDD while installing Windows onto the SSD.

can you give me a shot of the ultrabay? isit compatible with aftermarket solution that is sold on ebay?

From what I've read, the eBay drive caddies will not work with the Y500 because of the extra PCI-e port in the bay. Unfortunately, I don't think any of my pictures focuses on the Ultrabay and there's no way in hell I'm opening it up again and risk the touchpad/keyboard issue coming back. Sorry.

AFAIK, the drive caddies DO work. There is the mini-SATA connector along-side the ultrabay connector. I have used a drive caddy in my Y500

Is it just me or is the Y500 lacking an HDD activity light... can we somehow mod it to use a different light?
