Lenovo Ideapad 110 171IKB 80VK - i5 7200U - HD620 GFX MB: Nano 7C1 - Comes with 1TB Spinner The attached image is the inside of the laptop (obviously) I’ve searched everywhere for information about this model supporting a M.2 SSD. Clearly the connector is present, but it doesn’t seem to be anywhere in the manual or elsewhere. What kind of SSD would it support? NVME?Many M.2 SSD’s are 80mm long, and evidently this model has a reused motherboard from another laptop, therefore not designed for it. The space as shown in the image is 70mm, so it would require moving the CD/DVD Rom connector daughterboard ‘over’. For me this is fine as I am going to switch out the dvd drive for a 3rd SSD, including changing the original main drive as well. Further, I would have to fabricate a mounting point for the single screw at the bottom of ‘said M.2 SSD, not a problem for me, I have several 3d printers ..or some hot glue :) If anyone can shed some light on what kind of SSD is compatible that would be Ultra Excellent, as I dont have stores anywhere here, and I’d like to order the right one first. PS, KEEP UP the good work iFIXit! We all have your back!
Yep that M.2 slot supports a standard m.2 data SSD, don’t think NVMe would work on the low end model of ideapads here is a youtube video showing that it works: https://youtu.be/QymaSJTUzEs
