No, the Ultrabays are entirely different between T4x/T6x series and later T400/500 and so on models...I don't believe that there's a single part from any T4x that would be usable on these machines...
Good luck with your quest.

From the photos they look similar. I was hoping to stay with the small light thin dimensions of the t40 but its all widescreen now. Shopping so far shows t410 has weak GPUs so used lenovos seem a bad option. Thinkpads/macbooks under 14 inches don't offer i7 QM quadcores. My favorite lenovo options so far are the y570 5.9lbs 2630QM @ 1000 t520 5.6lbs 2820QM @ $1500 AMD doesn't have mobile benchmarks that come close to what I need for video editing. Hopefully Intel will release its 2760QM, 2860QM & 2960XM soon so Lenovo might lower its prices on the existing quadcores. Or maybe offer some quadcores in <14 thinkpads or l-series laptops.
