Uhhh, I bought a laptop with a locked BIOS, I upgraded to get that internal battery (which now works without any changes to the BIOS). Would that mean I'd be unlikely to do this upgrade myself without that BIOS password?
@@PC1948 I just done that and disconnected the CMOS battery and now the PC definitely reset the date and time and all that; BUT the supervisor password is still sadly stuck there :/ shutting down the PC and turning it on again doesn't reset the CMOS again (meaning I'm 90% certain I did everything right here; disconnected my internal; disconnected CMOS; and then waited 2 minutes just to be safe; reassemble) So sorry for asking for help here; I'm not sure where else to go. I saw a video and in the video they took out their HDD storage; would I need to take out my Storage Drive while doing this?
@@PC1948 Have you noticed any difference in battery life? A user on the thinkpad forums reported significant reduction in usage time when running both sata and an m2 drive on the same thinkpad.
This worked for me using the120GB Transcend M.2 SSD 420S Sata III 6gb/s. Remember you have to format the SSD once installed or Windows won't see it. I have Linux Mint running nicely on it now.

Bonsoir ou good evening, I tried with several M2 2242 cards and nothing recognized and I connected it to the same port as you ... can you please tell me if you have changed things in the bios so that the port be recognized thank you. Greetings
Hi Bro, Now I installed M2 2242in my X240. But SSD Temperature is around 54•C. HDD is 46•C. SSD Temperature is high than HDD on my laptop. It’s that normal? Please answer me bro.
Typical SSD Operating Temperatures For reliability, most of the time you should see a temp range between 30ºC and 50ºC (86ºF to 122ºF) for SSDs under load in a standard desktop computer.
Hi, The X240/250/260 machines don't support SATA M.2 SSDs. There are no SATA lanes connected to the M.2 slot, and no SATA over PCI-e whatsoever. Your only option is to go with a 2242 NVME SSD. The problem is that most of the NVMEs you can get in a PC parts shop are 2280 form factor. I used a WD 2242 NVME that came out of my Lenovo Legion Y540 (i upgraded the Y540 with a Samsung 970 Evo). Most of the 2242/2230 NVMEs out there are only available to OEMs, so you should probably find a suitable drive on eBay. Edit: Depending on your BIOS version, you may not be able to use a NVME SSD either. Be sure to apply the latest BIOS version available on Lenovo's support site. Cheers!
Not sure if you got an answer yet, but I'm pretty sure that's an LTE card, so if you only use wifi or ethernet for internet, you're fine to remove the card and swap with an m2 ssd.
@@PC1948 Hello, In this video, you used TS 256 GMTS 400. I found TS 256 GMTS 430S in our market. Can i use TS 256 GMTS 430s? what is difference? Please and Thanks.
@@zaidbounab9118 no, wifi card is to the left. the second m.2 slot is for either M.2 wireless WAN (LTE) or M.2 AHCI/SATA SSD. There is also a third M.2 slot underneath the dummy smart-card reader assembly which can be used if you don't want to sacrifice the wireless WAN slot.
Anyone wanting to do this: Remember to first enter the bios and switch off the internal battery before opening the laptop!

You can reset the BIOS, you need to disconnect the battery and the CMOS battery.
@@Regginyx yes but you have to treat it as under (standby) power when opening it. So beeline to the battery connector & disconnect that first.

Hello, what specific disk is the one you use in the video or how do I look for it on the internet to buy it? thnk
that is an insanely fast boot, nice work!

I watched your video and bought a Lenovo x260,but its not working like this I have tried many m.2 SSDs but unfortunately its not working.

Hi, no I didn't change setting in bios. I justed connect SSD and it's work for me.
Good luck.
Maybe he's using a NVME SSD (m.2) instead of a SATA SSD (m.2). I think NVME isn't recognize for this model. Just a though, i'm no expert.

Will the m2 sata run quicker than a normal ssd 2.5 hd?
Can i boot another os from the other drive if i have both installed?
1) No, unless M.2 has RAM and or SLC and 2.5" is a cheap TCL/QLC drive without RAM. Both are SATA protocol and limited to 600MB/s.
2) Yes.
is there a bigger slot for longer one
how to M2 sata 2242 ??

@@datawraith236 Then why does the SSD from the video work? When I search for the product code, it's descriped as M.2 Sata. Do I miss something?
isn't where the WiFi card was installed originally?!! if yes don't you need it? or you have an other way to connect with WiFi?
No, you have m.2 slot for hard disk ssd.

It's WAN card for Sim card slot, if u don't need to use sim u could replace with M2 SSD ^^
