LENOVO THINKPAD L430 caddy, does the caddy connect to the computer terminals itself, or would I need to open the computer and connect it?

I have Lenovo W520. It has removable CD drive caddy. Easily removable by pressing a lever, no need to open laptop. HD caddy fit perfectly to replace CD drive caddy

Just insert the caddy into the DVD slot, it connects to the computer by itself.

It appears to me (based on page 78 of the L430 manual) that all you will need is a screwdriver. Unlike most Lenovo models that the optical drive can be removed without tools this is not 1 of them. Once you remove the screw the optical drive can be removed and replaced with the drive caddy. So the answer is the caddy uses the internal connection previously used by the optical drive.

I'm not sure the size of the thinkpad caddy. But, it is a standard 2.5" laptop/notebook hard drive.

Yep, it has connectors for all lenovo (except the new rectangle ones, helix models etc. but you can buy adapter)

No, that is for the T430s. This is the correct one for the T4302nd HDD or SSD Caddy Lenovo ThinkPad T420,T430,T510,T520,T530, W510, W520, W530 (genuine Newmodeus)

The pinned connector at the end connects to one of the main board USB coonnections. It's simply an expansion piece.

No. You will need an external USB dock that Lenovo makes, it's part number 0A33970 (ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock). B590 notebook does not have neither traditional docking port, nor the new OneLink port that Lenovo uses on some of the lower-end ThinkPad models (E-series, for example). You can only use the USB port. Therefore, ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock must be used. We checked this with Lenovo compatibility matrix.

No, this unit connects via a Lenovo specific connector located on the bottom of the laptop for power/data/video. Note, it may not be compatible with All models of Lenovo laptops, Its always a good idea to verify that the laptop and the dock are compatible before purchase.

Yes, but you should know how to open the laptop. Take it to the asus store, they will do it

The USB cable from the lapdesk connects to whatever open USB port you have on your PC/laptop. In my case, I have two on the left and one on the right on my laptop. The cable currently runs from the USB port on the left to the back of the lapdesk via the mini-USB end where it connects (next to the 4 USB hubs).

There is really only one. It is not the traditional "docking station" like you are used to however. Type in Lenovo One Link in the Amazon Search Bar, and that is what you can use.

Absolutely! It connected almost immediately. This laptop was the quickest to get running than any of the others I have. It's shockingly good.

You will need a adapter for the Micro SD to connect to your PC. Transfer all your info there, then place it back into the Lenovo.

I have used this caddie extensively for my W500 before transitioning to the T430. The T430 is so much faster especially with 2 USB 3.0 ports I never found a need to mess with the configuration for backups or incorporate an SSD drive. Hence, I never tried the caddie in the T430 with a drive in it. However, I did remove the optical drive and place the caddie in the slot. The caddie is not as tall as the optical drive so you will see a little space there. The connection does seem to seat well though.

The caddy is compatible with the T420 (what I use it in) but not with the T420s (the slimline version of the T420)

There is a docking station option listed at the bottom of the amazon listing for this computer. I do not own it but it seems to connect through USB 3 port. Hope this is helpful. Check it out here ASUS USB 3.0 Universal Laptop Docking Station

No, the Lenovo Thinkpad Mini Dock Series 3 (433710U) is the docking station you need for the T430.
