I have a T430 model and the system does not see the mSata SSD installed in the WWAN slot instead of the 3G adapter? Do not know what could be the reason, maybe you need to turn something on / off somewhere in the BIOS or other settings?

The backlit keyboard is not working? Are you certain that the keyboard is the correct model? There are keyboards that do not light up. You can definitely install Windows and run it on an mSATA SSD, I do it all the time. I believe the speeds are SATA II, but I generally install 128GB drives with the main job to run to the operating system and some software apps. Second SSD's set up as storage is a good option.

Thanks for the video. I think with the right adapter, we can install 3 unit of msata ssd on it, right?

Glad you liked the video :) Do you mean install 3 mSATA drives? You could purchase an mSATA to SATA converter and then install that where the HDD can go. I've only installed mSATA SSD's with a converter on desktops, but I imagine you could find one that would fit in the HDD enclosure. That covers 2 mSATA drives. For the third, you could try a USB adapter. There isn't an optical drive, so you can't install a HDD caddie there. I'm sure there is a docking bay with an optical drive option, you could do that if you happen to find one. That would be quite the setup!

Great video! Can that SSD you used go in either of the 2 locations, or would it have to be a different type/size of SSD for the port where you installed the hdd?

@HaisteComputerRepair

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you :) The mSATA SSD can only go in the location under the motherboard. A standard 2.5" SSD can go in the HDD bay. They are two different styles of connections to the system board. I suppose that there might be some kind of adapter for mSATA to SATA that could fit in that HDD bay, but unless you have two mSATA SSD's burning a hole in your pocket, I would stick to a 2.5" SATA drive for the HDD bay. Does that make sense?

If I want to use that for my apps and a larger hard drive for my files, what would you recommend I do? Just getting a larger SSD for the one under the motherboard. Or getting a large HDD drive and a smaller SSD for the one under the motherboard?

@@zacr8588 Well, what I would normally do is install Windows onto the mSATA SSD and set up the HDD for storage + running software and games. The SSD would outperform the HDD, of course, so feel free to install anything you like to it so long as you have the storage capacity to do so. Installing two SSD's would be the best for performance, if you can budget that.

mSATA SSD speeds are at SATA II, so the 2.5" SSD is the solution for performance as it will run at SATA III. It performed fine for my standards and I think Linux would be fine as well. For me, it was more of a novelty for customization. Thanks for watching!

@HaisteComputerRepair

For sure. You can have Linux on one drive and Windows on the other. So, when you power on, press the ThinkVantage button and then F12 from the menu to choose boot options. I believe there may be software (or different BIOS from different board manufacturers) that will automatically prompt you after powering on, but I haven't ever explored that route. So, if you have one OS that you prefer, select that as priority boot in BIOS and the other disk as the second option. Let me know how it goes.
