Question Is this SSD compatible with my Lenovo Notebook ?

[compuzoom]

I have a LENOVO ThinkPad L14 Gen 4 (AMD) 21H6 SERIES - (Part Number : 21H6000SAR)
site:
https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/ThinkPad_L14_Gen_4_AMD?M=21H6000SAR

and this SSD:
Hiksemi FUTURES Gen4 x4 NVMe M.2 2230 SSD 1024GB

Are they compatible ?

From the specs you linked:

Storage slot: One M.2 2242 PCIe 3.0 x4 slot

While the drive you linked, is M.2 2230 PCI-E 4.0 x4.

It does work, however, only with half the rated read/write speeds, since drive is PCI-E 4.0 but M.2 slot is PCI-E 3.0.

So, compatible drives are M.2 2230 or 2242 and preferably PCI-E 3.0. But PCI-E 4.0 and 5.0 drives also work, but only at PCI-E 3.0 speeds. And up to 2TB in size.

Thank Aeacus you for your answer!

I will add that there's no screw hole for 2230 length cards so I think I need to find a way to hold it down like an adapter (2230 to 2242 adapter). I'll 3D print it!
