But the nvme will not run at full speed because the extension is sata (max speed ≈ 600mb/s) You need PCIE port gen 3 or above to get speed of 1500mb/s There is no point to use that extension just install normally ssd (cheaper)
Just to be clear, the NVMe caddy came with the T470's I purchased. So, of course I purchased NVMe SSD's. Fairly inexpensive on Amazon in Canada. Very similar in pricing to 2.5" SSD's.
Are you currently running a Hard Drive or a Solid State Drive? An SSD is an excellent choice and should be considered before RAM, so long as you are running minimum 4GB DDR4 in this laptop. Then, definitely get the RAM up to 8GB or more, depending on what you want to do.

Why not a second drive on the m.2 slot dedicated to a wwan card? You're clearly not using it and it seems closer to the ram and cpu. When pushing 0s and 1s, every nm matters.

I was wondering, are there different sizes of m2 ssd? I have a thinkpad t470 right now that came stock with a HDD. I found a caddy on ebay for $18. Will any m2 sdd fit it?
I would take a look at the caddy and see where you fasten it in. More than likely it is meant to fit a 22x80mm full size nvme ssd. There are different sizes of nvme drives, but taking a look at the caddy should dictate what size you should get. Send me a link if you want a second opinion.
I'm considering upgrading the stock SSD on my T470, which has the following code/specs: Intel SSDPEKKF256G8l / LEN P/N: SSS0L25128 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe 2280 The replacement product I found online seem to match all except it specifies PCIe 3.0 x 4 with up to 3500MB/s read. Should there be concern about new product not being compatible with the T470? And @5:48 did you reinstall windows onto the new SSD? Thanks!
helo sir, can this candy nvme ssd be installed in lenovo T560 by using the T470 type candy ssd, is it also suitable for installation in lenovo T560 ?... please explain, thank you.
hi bro i wanna know if my t470 has the option of a m.2 pcie nvme on the ssd sata 3.0 slot, ive seen a lot of forums that say that a m.2 pcie nvme cant be adapted to sata 3, and if it works where i can buy one of those adapters you have on the 470 of the video, and also if i can use an adapter from m.2 2240 on the laptoop to pcie or other ssd format, srry if i have some mistake, im spanish native
To the naked eye the connector looks the same whether it's the sata or NVMe. There isn't specific note of a different connection in the product specifications psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_T470/ThinkPad_T470_Spec.PDF

Hello Mister,
Could you please share a link where to find the adapter or a complete technical name of it?
Google suits for Lenovo ThinkPad or Lenovo caddy connector for SSD.
Browse through Google images until you see the one that match your laptop specs
Just as the other person said. Search eBay or Google shopping for "ThinkPad T470 NVMe caddy"
Why not a second drive on the m.2 slot dedicated to a wwan card? You're clearly not using it and it seems closer to the ram and cpu. When pushing 0s and 1s, every nm matters.
There is no reason not to do this and someone can if they like. I just didn't showcase that in this video.
Can you make a video installing Ubuntu on T740? It will be helpful!
I could or you can send me an email at haisterepair@gmail.com and I can help walk you through it.
Pls share the caddy link ..

Yep, the two drive options are basically just adapters that can be switched out according to preference.

is the nvme real nvme or just ngff
Yep it was a NVMe drive, not m.2 SATA III
can hold 64gb with 6600U :D

where do you get that nvme adapter?
You could try eBay
Hey man, may i ask if this laptop has 2 slots for 2 ram sticks.
Yes it does. If you are looking at a T470s, then that one has 4 GB soldered and one DIMM slot for a RAM stick

@@jayagcolicol3841No worries. Maybe take pictures as you go so you can go back and check things out while you reassemble. I think you can do it.
Dose this laptop have two ssd slots or one
One m.2 SATA III SSD can be installed in the WWAN port and one in the HDD caddy bay that is showcased in this video.
@nightskyimages2977 Be aware that only one slot will take the usual 2280 size. At best, the other slot only takes smaller ones (maybe 2242).
T470s suport Nvme or not ?
Yes, direct to the motherboard
