I've had my T530 since 2012 and didn't know you could add an msata drive until recently when I came across an article. Thanks to your video I just installed mine and put Windows 10 on it. My main drive is a 500GB SSD running Windows 7. I also removed the DVD drive and replaced it with a caddy with a 2TB hard disk for extra storage. I really love these old ThinkPads
Can you put a 2.5" SSD in the optical drive without MSATA? Is there a regular SATA connection? I have almost no idea what I'm doing but I did the ram and now I want more space.
Fantastic video, found this video while actually using my T530. Ordered the memory and BAM done and dusted. Went ahead and downloaded the free version of MEMtest86-usb and let that run to test the new memory installed. Thanks again
Great instructions, thank you! for a great vid, I did not know of the msata ssd's being supported by this laptop as have one of these collecting dust, going to upgrade it for personal use.
thanks for this wonderful video. I had a small concern, crystal info says msata runs on Sata 300 and is supporting sata 600. how to get the optimum speed? thanks. :)
What are your system specs? My T 530 has intel i5 3230M,16 GB ram,128GB SSD boot drive,1 TB storage drive,Intel 4000 GPU , 128 GB sd card for my GTA 5install.
Hello there! The fingerprint is not found after the windows installation. May you know, how to install the driver and solve the problem? Lenovo support center has not helped
can you help me factory reset my t530? I can't access it since it has a windows admin password and I also can't seem to factory reset it it by going into troubleshooting options by pressing the shift button while restarting the device

that MSATA you used, can the thinkpad use the bigger versions of it? I see you used the 128gb version but can it take 512?
What is the maximum storage that T530 recognize on MSATA slot?
