How to Upgrade Lenovo T14s M.2 2280 NVMe SSD? #thinkpad

🛠️ Upgrading the NVMe SSD drive on a Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 (Intel) laptop is a straight-forward process that can significantly enhance the storage capacity and performance of your laptop. This model supports an M.2 2280 SSD with a PCIe NVMe, PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, offering compatibility with storage options up to 2TB. Before proceeding, ensure you have a compatible M.2 2280 NVMe SSD of your choice, a set of precision screwdrivers, and an anti-static wristband to prevent any potential damage from electrostatic discharge. Back up all your data, disable the built-in battery from the BIOS menu as shown in the video, ensure the laptop is powered off and unplugged from any power sources.
🚀 To begin the upgrade, turn the laptop over and locate the screws securing the base panel. Use a precision screwdriver to carefully remove these screws, setting them aside in a safe place. Gently lift the bottom panel away from the chassis, starting from the edges to avoid damaging the clips that hold it in place. Once inside, locate the M.2 SSD slot. Remove the securing screw and slide the old drive out at a slight angle.
👩🏾‍🔧 Next, insert the new M.2 2280 NVMe SSD into the slot at a 30-degree angle, ensuring the connector aligns correctly. Push the SSD down until it lies flat against the motherboard and secure it with the provided screw. Double-check that the drive is firmly seated and that the securing screw is snug but not over-tightened. Reattach the bottom panel, ensuring all clips are properly engaged, and replace the screws.
🧑‍🔬 After reassembling the laptop, power it on and access the ThinkPad diagnostics by pressing Enter and F10. Confirm that the new SSD is detected under the storage section and ran tests. This upgrade not only provides expanded storage but also takes full advantage of the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, delivering faster data transfer speeds, reduced boot times, and improved overall system responsiveness.
