The standard caddy bay for HDD might not fit Y500 due to special  design on its ports/shape/thickness.  laugh.gif
Even Y500 & Y400 ultrabay are not interchangable due to its designs.

There are special design ultrabay for Y500 and Y400 from Lenovo, but not yet available in local market.
Optional hotswappable ultrabay are for cooling fans, HDD, dvdrom, GC(gt650m) as pic:

quick question, for Y series Lenovo, is it easy to replace the HDD with SSD?
*
not too easy. so many screws
and difficult to remove the cover.
