I'm pretty late to the party on this, but I haven't really heard of this particular dock. As it looks like this is trying to emulate a hot-swap bay on top of the ThinkPad's Ultrabay(which IIRC is already hot-swappable) it might not like that particular combination. If you're still looking for a working bay for this application, I'd suggest either an original Lenovo drive bay or a third-party one. Some of them are pretty cheap, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Bfenown-Replacement-Thinkpad-Internal-Optical/dp/B07VMG2CL5/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=Thinkpad+T430+hard+drive+bay&qid=1690569120&sr=8-3

It's been years since I've done much forum-scrolling and I totally missed the news that NBR was gone until recently. I used to be active many years ago when I had a Dell XPS M1730; now that I've picked another one of these beasts up as part of a growing retrocomputing collection(it's arguable that an '08-'09 laptop is retro, but I digress) I was trying to find some of the old threads about keeping these temperamental beasts running. I found the archives, and some other info that pointed me here. I'm usually a lurker, but I wanted to join up for old times' sake. Social media simply doesn't collate and catalog information like forums do. 😛
