This is from the Lenovo Forum "Legion Y530 M.2 SSD Compatibility" The Legion Y530 can use any M.2 SSD that is NVMe compatible. While the 2.5" bay can be used with an adapter to handle SATA only M.2 disks, the actual M.2 slot will only detect NVMe SSDs.

What is the maximum temperature of the ssd that has been presented to you?

How do I restore my original windows on the newly installed SSD?

Are the cooling fans on Y530 and Y540 the same? I own y540 and the fans require replacement, but I'm only able to find fans of y530 in the store near me. Can I use them instead? Because they look kinda similar. Will it work the same?

@TechMadeEasyUK

So let's take your questions one at a time, in order: The operating system will be on the smaller SSD. When you plug your new SSD in you may need to set it up in Windows; click on the start menu, type "computer management" open the app, click on Disk Management and set it up from there. Leave your OS on the smaller SSD, it'll be faster than a SATA SSD. The reason to have two disks is that SSDs are much faster, but more expensive. The idea is you use your SSD to install your OS and apps so that they're faster, while storing all your large files on the larger hard disk

Something worth of note is that when you "upgrade" your ram, more specifically, when you add a second ram stick, your CPU performance WILL improve! This is because modern CPU's are design to work in dual channel (dual sticks) and their performance is hindered when using a stick alone. I got a Y530 as well and saw a performance increase of +/- 10% on the CPU

The existing SSD that was removed is a M.2 SATA SSD, that explains the 2 grooves. Whereas the Samsung SSD that was installed after that is a M.2 NVMe SSD which has 1 groove. However both are M.2 connector which are compatible to a PCIe (serial bus) slot. SATA and NVMe are both different technology. Whereas M.2 is merely a connector. Whereas the existing big square HDD / SSD disk on the top right uses a 2.5" connector. Thus M.2 & 2.5" are 2 different type of connectors. SATA & NVMe are 2 different type of technology. NVMe is the latest, much faster than SATA.

Good Question. RAM is what's known as volatile storage - it's used when your computer is on, but when your computer is turned off it doesn't retain any data. Hard disks and SSDs are known as non-volatile storage; they keep your data when it's turned off or restarted. Your operating system, apps and files are stored in non-volatile storage. So upgrading RAM will not cause you to lose any data on your machine, only upgrading your hard disk or SSD will.

At time of recording my research indicated up to 1TB was possible, however its best to go with the limits suggested by Lenovo

I have the Y530 but don't have the 1 tb SATA HDD, I'm looking to get the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD to add onto it as the storage space is quite low, would that be a good option, is it even compatible?

I use that drive in my desktop to store games and it performs well. It should be compatible
