- I really like the lenovo S145 as they make it really easy to open up. 10 Screws to Remove the bottom Cover. Four Screws to Remove from the SSD bracket. Don't forget to ground yourself and be careful when holding the SSD.
Lexar 128GB NS100 SATA III 2.5" Internal SSD

Very good indeed, not only you showed how to do the physical installation, but you also showed hot to make it show up as an usable drive. that is a part less savvy people will struggle with. Well done!
Thanks! Cheers

@Vihaan Abdullah It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Kaden Layne you are welcome :D
Just stumbled across this, but I wanted to say well done for an amazing and informative video. It helped me add an SSD to my IdeaPad 3
Many thanks for taking the time to make this video.
No problem. Btw they recommend gpt as the newer format for ssds. Either gpt or mbr work the same way but I hear gpt is better
This is super helpful, thanks a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
@@whattmeter Can you say pls how much memory was having before?
Original ssd storage m.2 is 256 gb. The second storage that was added is 2.5 inch ssd is a 120gb ssd (after format capacity is 111gb) hope that answers your question.
Thanks man. Helped alot!
Glad it helped
Perfect! Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thx brota
glad it helped!
Could you share the link of the toolbox from which u were taking screws screwdriver,etc.., plz share an affordable one.
I have the laptop with an hdd can I add an ssd without removing the hdd ? 🤔🤔
Double check your motherboard and cpu model. If it’s the same as the one in the video you could add an m.2 ssd. I would check your cpu and motherboard to make sure that it can support it
@@whattmeter if i add the m.2 will it use it by default immediately?
@@Dylan_0130 Same here. I opened mine up and it has only the hdd inserted. I have a blank space for an sdd
in the market today go for a 500 Gb one , more space , optimal price $/GB . Also a bigger ssd has a higher TBF rating so it will last more
Thank you very much, you help me to solve my problem
Glad the video helped
Hey hi
My laptop is Lenovo ideapad s145 151kb i3 7th generation 1Tb hdd can I upgrade ssd by replacing hdd
I have Lenovo IdeaPad s145 15api model with 1tb hd can i upgrade jo ssd without removing hdd? I have pci m.2 ssd ,the laptop have r5 3400u processor, does laptop have slot for ssd ? If it have then sata slot or pcie?
are you trying to add an m.2 ssd? try crucial scanner or cpuz to see if you can add an ssd. you should be able to but I would double check to be sure.
@@whattmeter thanks i checked crucial it is compatible
Thats great! Hope everything goes well if you go through with it
💗
the tool is called a spudger
Pls How much is it (this laptop) ? Is he good for mobile dev ?? Tnx you
Can you Recommend me wht should i use(spec) to make my laptop go faster please 🙏
Would there be an issue if you do the same process but with a bigger size (ex: 256 or 512 gb) same model same specs?
Should be no issue with storage size. I’ve installed 512gb on similar models
I am very confused to why this has no comments but uh I have a question, what did the SSD change and what was different when you used the laptop.
The 2.5 inch ssd is basically adding a second ssd to the computer. The laptop had all the connections included to add a second ssd. Basically it allowed more storage. The primary ssd is an m.2 ssd. Hope this helps.
jasetutorials I need something for better FPS in games and I heard SSD doesn’t do FPS so do you know what will help for this?
Sorry it doesn’t do fps? Well i think it gpu matters most. The laptop in the video is a lenovo s145 which has no dedicated gpu memory. Completely reliant on ram. Ssd should show games fps, but you could totally swap the ssd with a 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive. It won’t be as fast and will be noisier. But it’s all up to the person using. This lenovo laptop isn’t really meant for gaming
jasetutorials oh okay thank you very much :)
I have the same laptop (same model) but it didn't come with ssd, I don't know if there is a place for the 2.5 inches ssd , how should I know without opening it because it is still in the warranty?
I would check task manager > performance > disk to see if the current storage is hd or m.2 ssd. If you already have a hard drive then you can’t add a 2.5 inch ssd. Other than I don’t really know to tell if there’s space for 2nd ssd
@@whattmeter unfortunately I only have the HDD that came with the laptop, thanks anyway
@@whattmeter But can I add m.2 ssd ? if I don't have one
Do you know what motherboard model you have? Most likely you can put an m.2 but you might have to buy a screw. Since you mentioned it's still under warranty I would ask the place you bought it from. They might have made changes or know the configuration of the laptop since they set it up. Only way to make sure is to ask the store.
@@whattmeter ok I will for sure, thanks alot!
hello. i enjoyed the video. my ideapad s145 came with a 128g SATA ssd, i need it to be more. i noticed your laptop has the M.2... My laptop had the slot for m.2 or nvme SSD PCI( which may be the same thing). i am not computer savy but would like to increase from 128G. which would you recomend and why? thanks.
Definitely m.2 ssds make a big difference compared to Sata. If you do decide to get a m.2 ssd make sure to check if your laptop has the m.2 ssd screws in it. If not you have to buy the screws too. Lenovos come in many different configuration. Also check the read and write speed of your sata ssd by running a test like crystaldiskmark or something similar so that when you shop for an m.2 ssd you can check the read and write speeds and ensure you get the faster one
M.2 ssds usually get hotter compared to sata ssd but they are usually much faster. Or was your question what’s a good brand of m.2 ssd?
My laptop do not have the screws for M.2. I guess is really My question for easy way to increase memory from 128g to a bigger. Could I plug in a m.2 to increase memory? Or best to get a Sata ssd with say 500g and clone the ssd? Thanks for your response.
@@rtw7931 Adding an M.2 would definitely increase your storage, but it would be a separate partition. Which is completely fine too if that works for you. Cloning and using a bigger Sata also works, but it would mean you won't be using the original sata anymore. In my opinion, adding an M.2 would be easier to add and setup as cloning would take more time. Just my opinion though because that would mean you have to buy m.2 screws. I also think M.2 are more expensive compared to 2.5 inch SSDs
what s145 is this? mine is Lenovo S145 - *14IKB*
i am using lenovo ideal pad 3 ( model : 151ML05 ) 256 gb ssd laptop . i have another 1TB hdd i want to add on my laptop is it possible ? is there any warranty issues ?
Is there is a option of sim card option in lenovo idea pad S145
I have the same laptop, I'm quite confused about ports. I just could add a ssd sata 2.5 if I remove the hdd that I have. But, I could buy a m.2 ssd in the other slot and preserve the hdd, do I? In that case, what M.2 would you recommend me to buy?
Alejandro Molina for m.2 a sk hynix gold p31 is the fastest you can buy and for sata a sk hynix gold s31 is the fastest you can buy
Nice! it's really up to you. m.2 SSD would definitely boot faster, then you could use the HDD that was included as an extra SSD.
great suggestion
Does it have another slot for ssd
Does the laptop have a bracket or i need to buy 1???
What is the size of the screw driver you used to unscrew?
Ph1 screwdriver
Hello, is there a better ssd that is compatible with the laptop pls?
Is there a max gb that can be added? Can you add a TB ssd?
1 tb shouldn’t be an isse
do you also have a tutorial on upgrading the ram ?
Yup yes I do
Bro can i ask that how long do you have the lenovo ideapad s145?
Because im about to buy 1 and im thinking if that its durable and good use for a long time
still have it till now. Been using it for a long time for work 5 days a week. Good practical laptop. I run illustrator, office, light video editing etc.
@@whattmeter can you game test it also like Valorant, csgo, LoL and dota?
@noob noob the battery is replacable right?
And one of my friend told me that i should just remove the battery and use it while.plugged in but im kinda scared to do it since its my.1st laptop is that doable and safe or i should just let it be?
@@hirokenju5053 its really slow and weak
Bro I have ryzen 5 model can I change hdd to SSD... Plzz tell
Yeah it should be possible no matter the cpu
@@whattmeter Thnk u..... For your response.... I have one more question?... Can u plz suggest me the best SSD card for me...

Can I able to upgrade 512GB SSD to my Lenovo Idea Pad 3 which comes with 256GB SSD (NVMe).
Are you trying to add a 512gb ssd (2.5 inch) or changing the nvme to larger storage? Either way yes it’s possible
@@whattmeter Thanks for your reply, which way is best & faster ?
Adding a 2.5 inch ssd in my opinion but it makes things tricky because you have to select it when saving stuff to it. If it was just the main nvme ssd you only have one location for storing things
where can I but those screws and that metal casing
Metal case was included with the laptop. The screws I bought off amazon. I usually use m3x3 screws but something similar will work too
Is it the same for lenovo IdeaPad 3 ?
Pretty much. Only difference is the ram cover. But mostly the same process etc. different build and cpu though
I have lenovo ideapad s145 ryzen 3 /1tb hdd. can I add ssd with hdd also? 🙄🤔
Yes. You can use both. The 1 TB HD can be used as your secondary disk.
these laptops are bargains if you plan on upgrading them, pretty junk factory though
I agree. There are good for basic stuff. I use it for work, and it does a great job for illustrator, some light video editing, etc
Don't you have to disconnect battery before inserting ssd?
Yes, highly recommended to disconnect the battery. I was a rookie at the time. Luckily nothing broke. Future videos I disconnect the battery
Can i add nvme m.2 ssd to the laptop, is it compatible ?
Yes, did you happen to see the inboxing video I made. I believe i put the crystal disk info which shows the transfer rate
If the NVME SSD is lexar, can i use Sata 3 Samsung or must be the same is Sata 3 Lexar?
The sata is lexar. The nvme m2 ssd is a samsung that came with the laptop
You can use any brand for the 2.5 inch ssd or m2
Hey are u able to put a hardrive into the same laptop model?
Yes, but only 2.5 inch hard drive. 3.5 inch hard drives would be too big
@@whattmeter ok tysm for replying
Will it void the warranty if I open the laptop?
nope
What model of IdeaPad s145 is this sir ??
Specific Model is the LNVNB161216
@@whattmeter thanks sir
Is that Lexar SSD good??
It’s a cheap basic ssd that does the job
