[SOLVED] Add a second SSD to a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7

[Broco Lee]

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to add a 2nd ssd to my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (4500U, 256go SSD) since I saw it was possible (

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewsqux6Td6E
)

In the video he is using the following 2242 SSD : https://www.amazon.fr/Sabrent-inter...&dchild=1&keywords=2242&qid=1609598753&sr=8-7

My question is : Why his 2242 SSD has different connectors (check the following one) and will it be a problem when I install mine ? Is any 2242 SSD compatible ?
Here is also how the PC looks like

Thank you very much !

That is a SATA drive in your pic.

Like this:

You NEED to determine what that second 2242 port is capable of.
I'm betting only SATA, not NVMe.

In the video it's NVMe.
So SATA is not compatible ?

You need to verify what that port is, not what a drive is.
Then you buy a compatible drive.

You verify this from Lenovo, not some dudes video.
