Hello, do you have the 15" inches model? I have the 14" inches, 14ITL05 model. Would the 15" adapter cable work for the 14"? It's a lot harder to find cables for the 14"

Great video.. Thank you mate. Keep it up...

Hi there! I kinda confused since my laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 3 Slim 3, but the hard disk description is SSD PCIe NVMe, which I found a small and slim one, but I also got the connector like the one you use for that big SATA, while NVMe does not need that connector. Sooo, now I'm confused whether my laptop use that NVMe or big HDD as yours?

@greezygoblin

Жыл бұрын

The ideapad 3 has the option for both a PCIe NVME, as well as a SSD. If the ideapad 3 slim has the space for an SSD, you can install it for expanded storage. If it does not, you can then expand your storage by replacing the NVME with an NVME with a larger capacity. Hope this helps!

If you mean a SATA connection, you may have to try and find a different adapter; although I'm unaware of any other compatible standards. The cable that plugs into the motherboard must be purchased separately. Did this answer your question? Thanks.

Maybe off topic..i have a Ideapad 3 model with one SSD inside a slot to put another 2,5" SATA OR M2 PCiE SSD..I understand I need an adapter for SATA HDD. What about M2 PCIe slot? It goes directly or I need an adapter also? THNX

If you are replacing the currently Installed M.2 with one of the same size, you do not need an adapter. If you are replacing it with a different size M.2, you may need a standoff, I'm not sure

If anyone has bought a Gen 7 Ideapad 3, recently (2023), then be aware that while they may look identical on the outside, the newer models are different on the inside! --You cannot install a full size NVMe SSD as the fan is in the way. -- (Edit, you can, they moved the location of the drive which I didn't realise as it was semi-hidden) This would have been a deal breaker for me if I had known prior to buying. You can still upgrade the RAM and add a SATA SSD, and for these, the cable port is in a different place so the shaped cables you need to buy separately will need to be re-shaped to work. If you are considering buying an Ideapad 3, unless you get it for a very good price, don't bother. The display is washed out in addition to the above issues. Stick to an Acer or ASUS instead.

Important update. You CAN upgrade the NVMe to a full sized one. It is located on the opposite side of the board, and was hidden beneath the thermal pad. I don't know why I didn't notice it before. The network card is in a similar place to where the SSD is on the older versions, and that's where my confusion lies. I am sorry if this inconvenienced anybody. But I still say stay away from this laptop purely because of the display.
