I can confirm that a 1000GB nvme works in the 2242 WWAN slot of Dell Latitude 5490. I bought a Netac N930ES (NT01N930ES-001T-E2X) and using it with a 256GB 2248 mSATA in the primary slot. 👌

hi, there is something I dont get, and that is, why you didnt get any read and write speed over a 1Gb/S with neither pcie nvme ssd? I get that that the m2 socket where you put the wd black ssd is on the sata bus what why the toshiba ssd which is also pcie nvme didn´t pass the 1gb/s on read and write secuence? its driving me nuts to not get it

[@mykola30]

Hello! Thank you for the demo. Have you tried using both M.2 PCIe SSDs at the same time? Would it be possible?

[@BasileusRu]

Same question is it possible to install both M.2 same time?

[@nuooossa]

You guys yes can use both. However only one nvme at a time:

URTechDotCa ThanksMuch!===

Well I try it do it the same on Wwan on 5495 but it's don't work Idk what's wrong?
Whole night I try it find it solution. Bios on dell lattitude 5495 it's nightmare. Any suggestion?

[@RohitdeSa]

Finally! Someone who tried it out and pointed out the rubbish written in Dell's manual :-)
Is the 2242 slot PCIe/NVMe only? Or does it accept M.2 SATA disks as well? I ask because SATA are about 30% cheaper than their NVMe counterparts. So for someone who doesn't care about blazing fast speed, and is just looking for more memory at a reasonable price point, SATA is a better buy.

[@RohitdeSa]

I can confirm that a 512GB nvme works in the 2242 slot. I bought a Lexar NM520 and am using it with a 256GB 2248 mSATA in the primary slot.

@@RohitdeSa hello, excuse me it's true that you can use a ssd and hdd at the same time?

[@RohitdeSa]

@@arturop-4514 I assume by 'HDD' you mean '2.5" SATA drive'? Yes, this laptop does support a 2.5" SATA drive, however you will need to buy the requisite mounting kit and adapter cable. This is available from various sellers online.
The E5490 supports M2 + 2.5" SATA, as well as M2 + M2 drives, as long as you have the right accessory hardware to mount and connect them. Do note that a 2248 M2 drive shares the same physical space that a 2.5" SATA drive (either SSD or mechanical) would occupy. This means that you can only install either one of these at a time.
In my specific case, my laptop shipped with an M2 SATA 2248 drive. I wanted some more storage, so I bought a Lexar 2242 M2 nvme SSD and installed it in the WWAN slot.

[@arturop-4514]

@@RohitdeSa Thank you for answering me. could answer me another question, a person sells me this model 5490 but with solid state disk, (Hard Drive M.2 256GB SATA Class 20 Solid State Drive 256SSD [400-AOTF] [575-BBKU] 8), but I do not know what size it is, if as the first one showing the video or as the second one that shows 512 Gb?

[@RohitdeSa]

@@arturop-4514The 256GB SATA disk is of the M2 form factor. It will likely be a 2248, meaning is is 22mm wide and 48mm long, designed to fit in the same physical area as a 2.5" harddisk.

Please sir I’m using dell latitude 5490
Can I place m.2 ssd drive as an external drive! in (wwan place?)

[@jasonluong3862]

How did you screw down the longer SSD? My 5490 has a cylindrical well made of orange plastic that has no groove to anchor down a screw.

[@DDDINC420]

There is a caddy that has to be ordered

[@tonydeleo202]

Where's the trackpoint?

[@mrkomeng78]

So the WWAN slot can be used as caching ssd?

[@murillorosa7371]

Same question

Will this 5490 charge from USB-C?

[@dopyrory3]

Yes

[@murillorosa7371]

Only using a USB-PD charger and cable.

can i have 256 + 512 gb ssd? in dell 5490

Can i use a SSD and another SSD in the WWAN port?

yes, bios don't see that disc but in windows is OK

Is CPU upgradable? And what's about display? Good enough for photo-video editing (like a non-pro). And viewing angles?
Summary: this one dell or HP elitebook 840 g5?
