Thanks for the help man. I love the similar makeup of Dell laptops and the ease in upgradability 😊
This is so wonderful and saved me a lot.I used the video for Dell Latitude 5480 and it worked.
Esta es una buena noticia para mi laptop!!!
Thank you, wish this was more well known. Taught me a lot!
This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you.
I have this same computer. Thank you for making this video, I never knew I could use the wwan slot for extra storage. 🥃😀
are u able to load windows from the SSD installed in that Port?
Thank you mr. Dinner! ;)
Hi! You mentioned the HDD connector near in top left corner around the battery bay on the motherboard. My model is slightly different than yours, but has the connector. Firstly, you need to swap the 68 Wh battery to the smaller 51 Wh - 3 cell one (that's physically shorter) and you have space for a 2,5" ssd or hdd. I know, it is a compromise between disk space or battery life, but it depends for the situation what you need. Cheers! Great video btw!
u need to remove the current SSD if u want to make use of the 2.5" hdd bay. u cant put two drives at that area.
@@presston Yeah, my Dell LATITUDE 14 5410 has the 2.5" HDD installed, and I wish I could figure out how to install the M.2 SSD option. I think I will give this M.2 SSD option on the WWAN slot a try. I hope it works.
@@justinbryson2906 Please double check the wwan slot type. B or M. I bought a NVME M for del 5400 only to find out it doesn't fit. The difference is very miniscule.
I think i need to try with 2242 SATA ssd, but there doesnt seem alot of choice in the market for those.
can you install a second os on the Toshiba drive and have the laptop dual boot?
NICE BRO. U EXPLAIN VERY CLEAR,GOD BLESS
Nice info and its help me, thx bro
Thank you guy!!! You make my day. 👍
Can you now clone the C drive remove it and boot from the m2 and will it be as fast as ssd if put into sata slot?
thanks dude, you are save me from the mystery of this slot..!
Like! Petr, i wondering if I can use NVMe drive as a system drive? Was it seen in BIOS as a regular drive? Thanks!
Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, execelwnte
Perfect, I can now install too, great to know, and many thanks
I'm just starting to learn about working on laptops, so this might be a stupid question. At 3:06, the screw that is taken out and moved to the new SSD spot in the WLAN port, is that a grounding screw? Are the screws on a laptop ever used to give a circuit a proper ground, and if so, how can you tell when they're used this way?
Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks this is helpful I have a Dell Latitude 5400 and you've answered whether it has a mini pcie slot.
You can also use these slots to add a full sized PCIE dock, for adding an external GFX card.
how ? using an adapter?
@@Belkamd this video shows you how, the guy in it makes a mount but you don't need to do that.

In fact is a mini PCIe but i think is 2x you better install an nvme b + m key in that one and use the m2 port to get 4x
Thank you so much!
I Test it in a Dell E5450 and it work. I used Ssd 128gb Nvme Pci-e 2242 Western Digital PC SN520. But I cannot make it boot from there. I updated Bios to A23 versión and nothing. Cant see the disk on bios. Any idea?
Petr, I´ve just did that in my Latitude 3480 last week. The difference is that I shall only use the M.2 SATA 2242 in stead of NVMe. As it´s only SATA I´ve build a software RAID-0 and the speeds where really good. I read that SATA and the WWAN used to share the same PCIe lane of the processor but it didn´t. Great video tough!
SATAIII disk: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB (SSD Degradated - Has 49% of remaining life)
WRITE: 385.4/MBs READ: 502.6/MBs
WWAN: KingDian N400 2242 128GB
WRITE: 437.2/MBs READ: 504.5/MBs
RAID 0 with partitions of the same size (119.69GB)
WRITE: 760.7/MBs READ: 943.9/MBs
Another interesting upgrade for whom has older Dell is the screen as you shall upgraded from HD to FHD with a simple swap and costs only 50USD.
Best Regards!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
just to clarify we should look for 'NVMe SSD' and not the 'M.2 SATA 2242' ?
Hi, I have a latitude 5490, Isuccessfully installed a lexar 256 Gb SSD into the wwan slot and it is now working great, but I have a question, is it possible to set up a raid with a ssd installed into that port?
Hi, can you elaborate on the screen upgrade, please?
Hey @Ramiro Paes. I have dell latitude 3480, i have HDD in that. I want to use WWAN slot for SSD? which ssd i should buy please suggest and how can i transfer my original window 10 from HDD to SSD there. Please help
Hey question I try it do same with dell L 5495 and just don't show it up nowhere. Funny things drivers cannot be instaled cuz don't discover ssd amd I'm stuck on middle of nowhere. On Bios it's none and don't have any option. Raid Settings?
Hi. I installed a Msata to TF card reader in WWAN slot. Fits good, pops up and down good like ram does. I can't get Bios or Windows 10 to find it. I even done I new install of Windows 10. Any advice? Thanks.
Btw I had a TF card formatted with files on it in reader all the time. Dell E6540.
Nice job!!! can you boot from this new ssd?
can anyone tell me plz that the default M.2 in here is sata or PCI ? and does it support NVMe?
Do you know why a NVMe can be detected in the main slot, but can not be in the WWAN slot?
For this, does latitude should have WWAN support? Cos some latitude configurations just comes with only WLAN support.
Very Cool!
can you make a hole in the bottom cover for the sata cable and connect the SATA SSD outside? ;)
just checked other forum and someone said that only standard voltage CPU(i.e. XXXX-HQ) can successfully add and recognize the SSD installed at WWAN. I dont know the theory, could someone help?
For me, my CPU is low voltage (Latitude E5570 6600-U installed, tried WD SN520). My laptop cannot recognize the SSD at WWAN. Sad.
Hi has anyone try it same on dell latitude 5495? I have same ssd and nothing not either visible. Any suggestions?
I tried Dell precision m6800 in wwan slot msata wont work it give issues of booting to other windows drive
Sweet! Thanks
I succesfully installed 512GB M.2 2242 SSD SATA3 TLC - TS512GMTS430S ... but after half an hour .. it disappear and i'v to restert Laptop .... any suggestion ?
My 5400 looks identical to this 5401, yet my drive doesn't show up in Device Manager or Disk Management. Is there a BIOS setting I can change?
How about ThinkPad T470s, pls tell if someone have tried to install ssd in wwan port
What is the largest size SSD that will fit in the WWAN slot in the E7440?
Hi, I would like to know if Latitude 5411 has same slot? Will it work? Please help.
Hello Petr, Thank you very informative. Please help me, i have Dell Latitude 5450, kindly confirm, if i can also install M.2 42mm SSD in the WWAN slot.
Does this ssd work for the dell latitude E6440
Nice video. BTW I have heard that even if the ssd Is inserted into any port, it won't be detected in my computer until the driver is installed or it has been formatted. What's your opinion on this?
Does it work on dell latitude 7280?
i have dell latitude 5480, will be compatibility toshiba RC100 in to WWAN slot?
can you put a hdd and a ssd at the same time? i need like this
Thank you, can we do the same with latitude e4570?
I have question its said on my dell latitude 3480 its only 32Gb SSD for WWAN what happened if i got 128 gb ssd?
thank you very much
Please help me. WWAN slot is empty on my laptop
This piece is for what?
I have a 5400 series laptop, has anyone tried to use mSata ssd on this port?
will this work on my dell 7480 wwan, went to other forums and most of themm say that it doesn't work idk why
Excelent!!! Thanks. Can I install a SO in the disk?
good video; Hello, could the operating system be installed on that solid state drive?
I am wondering what is the speed on CrystalDiskMark?
It's not work on my laptop, Latitude 5480. Is there any BIOS setup to recognize it's? Thanks
Hello, Dell E5570 (i7), does it support installing ssd 2242 like your way?
thank you for this information, but sorry to ask..
afaik wwan pcie on dell is gen2x1 right? can an nvme ssd reach its usual speed performance on pcie2x1?
Can I do this on E7470? It has WWAN HCA slot. Which SSD should I buy?
WOW, works great! Thank you very much 😁
Hi, did you have any chance to try a higher capacity ssd like the Toshiba RC 100 480 GB or Lexar NM520 M.2 2242 512GB NVMe on that WWAN slot?
@@catalinstefanteodorescu2996 I just installed a Intaiell M.2 2242 42MM 1TB SSD on my Dell Latitude 5480 and it is working perfectly
thank you for making this video, is this ssd suitable for dell latitude e7450 model
Has anyone tried that on a Latitude 5590? Does it work?
Hi Petr,
i am using Latitude 3580 and have a 500gb Sata HDD,
i want nvme for my OS,
if i use WWAN PCIe for nvme.. what you think it will be bootable.? for booting OS by nvme..? Please reply
Hi peter, how about type C support power delivery?
Can that work on Dell latitude 14 7420?
Thank you so much.
Do you think a double sided 2242 will fit?
Bonjour, je souhaiterais installer un SSD dans le port WWAN de mon Dell latitude 7290, pourriez vous me donner les caractéristiques du SSD svp ?
Merci
Working perfectly in 5400 with 2230 disk. Thanks a lot
Are you sure using 2230 ? In this video he used 2242. Iam use 5400 too, im confused to choose 2230 or 2242 to my 5400
Can make bootable from adding ssd at wwan?
Is better 2242,but un my case i don't have and i used 2230, i need to use an adaptator
Hi Jorge, can you give me the name of 2230 disk you've done
I did a mistake and bought 2230 any solution to put it in wwan?
Will this work in a Dell 5404 Rugged?
Absolutely great tutorial. But your SSD in the main tray is SATA or PCle? You did not mention it here
Hello! It's possible to put in WWAN slot of Dell Latitude 5401 more than 256 GB hard drive? 1 TB or 2 TB for instance? And wil be work or not this hurd drive: Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 ?
Hi, did you have any chance to test a higher capacity ssd like theToshiba RC 100 480 GB or Lexar NM520 M.2 2242 512GB NVMe on the same WWAN port? Thanks
can you install the OS on that drive?
I have done the same but I do not see my mSata in the device manager. I had the wwan card installed but I removed it and installed the mSATA in its place but for some reason its not showing. Do know why?
Because it is mSATA and not PCIE
Hi! I successfully installed a lexar 256 Gb SSD into the wwan slot, but I have a question, is it possible to set up a raid with a ssd installed into that port?
I don't think BIOS has raid options. So only software raid would be possible. But I think it's recommend to have the same size drives for raid (preferably even the same models). I wouldn't risk the data corruption chance on raid with this setup. (Unless you want to do RAID 1), but if u try it share your experience with us!
bro can i install an ssd into wwan/hca slot on dell e5450
I have dell latitude 6430u laptop can I add 2nd ssd?
Does anyone know if this process works for Lenovo laptops? Mine is an L14 3rd generation AMD
can we use egpu in the wwan port and how
Why do you install and remove the parts without removing the battery and then pressing the power button to discharge the static charges?
The size you already bought is M.2 SSD 2230?
And how about mPCIe wifi slot?
huh.. you think my Dell Latitude 3350 will be able to accept the m.2?
Nice video mate!, which exactly is this 5400 model?, Do you have the product number?, thank you!
Does the wwan m.2 work with sata too ? or it only supports nmve (pcie) ?
Update: Got a 5401 and my unit does not have the wwan socket soldered.
Can anyone confirm if this works on dell studio 1537?
Bro i did a mistake and buy ssd 2230 any solution or I should sell it and buy a 2242?
This amazon link is dead. Where can I find one of these??
Does the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD work with Dell Latitude 5401 ?
According to Crucial it does. Looking to upgrade my storage to PCIe, did you end up doing it? How’d it go?
hi, is the m.2 nvme ssd is pcie 3x2 type?
I have the 5290 (12.5") which has the SATA port you mention at 1:18 so I got the cable, used a SATA to mSATA adapter and installed a 1tb mSATA as a second drive next to my 2tb NVMe M.2... the issue is the 5290 screen is just awful. But I can apply your method to the 5300 (13") and have a much better screen, although I will lose out on 4G, I can tether to my phone. I need an ultrabook with 2 drives, 5400 is a bit too big for my needs. Great video!
Edit: I also think the 5400 comes with the HDD port and 8th gen Intel, 5401 no HDD port and 9th gen Intel.
I have dell 5480 it has hdd port but the space isn't that big for both sata and m2! Even mSata I can't imagine how it can fit ! ( I didn't try cuz I don't have mSata for now)
use WWAN port then like the video?
5400 comes with low power U CPUs. 5401 uses high power H CPUs
I don't think Intel 9th gen had lower power U cpus, they just made newer 8th gen U CPUs.
So that's why 5400 would have 8th gen, because that's what was available in U CPUs. But for the laptop itself, 5400 and 5401 are the same generation.
@@zeruty I now run a 5431 i7-1270P.... P stand for performance maybe? But I did replace the screen on the 5290 and put up a video on my channel.
will this work with dell 7450?
how do i use the slot for the hdd in a latitude 5480?
important question - are you able to boot your system from WWAN-connected disk?
@Gyan Prabhakar can you give more details, please? with dell e7270 can't find a way to install linux and boot from it - in BIOS is not detected - thank you
Where is the original ssd? I want to remove it and format it. Thanks
Dell latitude e7450 i7 5th in thia method work or not?
Nice tutorial. Does it work on E5570 also?
will this work with deLL LATITUDE E5550
Ser petr CAn you make video for Dell e7240 how to use second ssd card in wwal slot it is true can use wwan slot to ssd card plc make video tankyou
Can you boot from the WWAN port?
Does it work on Lattitude 3380 also?
I have a 2016 Dell Latitude E5250 with the WWAN slot. So to try this out, I found a cheap £10 TOSHIBA 128GB M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe SSD on eBayt. My WWAN should have the 2242 SSD card. Although too small to screw down. I was able to make the card stable, using some masking tape and sticky pads. The card was recognised, no messing with BIOS. After setting up, It works perfect. Thanks a great Vid, Now looking for a 512gb M.2 2242 SSD :-)
bro can u boot from this ?
Haven't tried it, I assigned the 2230 SSD an F drive so it wouldn't boot. But I can't see why not. If I'm not mistaken aren't these M2 SSD's used in Tablets as the primary drive??? BTW it does get to around 75c before the SMART technology kicks in and throttle it down
@@protarget1 i have dell lattitude e5270 and it has only one drive which is in M.2 form factor and its sata bus based, now i dont know if i can replace it by a NMMe PCI-e and also it boots from here and i want to know if i use WWAN connector to set M.2 NVMe then would it be bootable or not, if not then no need to use it as a normal disk drive!
My E5250 is the same battery and SSD as in this YT vid ruclips.net/video/qrhpD4T2PXs/видео.html My SSD is a Kingston mSATA SSD Don't forget there are 2 different M2 SSD. The M2 SATA and M2 MVME PCIe. The WWAN slot is a mini PCIe Slot so I don't think the SATA will work in the WWAN. This why in this vid he states you must use the NVME PCIe type in the WWAN slot. I bought something cheap like this j off UK eBay just to try. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/128GB-PCIe-NVMe-Hynix-Hfm128gdgtng-83a0a-SSD-Dell-P-n-0VGN9P-BC501-M-2-2230/114088821116?hash=item1a9039417c%3Ag%3A19cAAOSwAepeMHT1&LH_ItemCondition=3000
