Question SSD Upgrade Compatibility Check: Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 Gaming Laptop with WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD (1TB)

[JagratSingh]

I'm planning to upgrade the SSD on my Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 Gaming Laptop, which has the following specs:


- Intel Core i5 12th Gen 12450HX


- 16 GB RAM


- 512 GB SSD (current)


- Windows 11 Home


- 6 GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Graphics


Link: Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9


I've got my eyes on the WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe SSD (1TB), but before I make the purchase, I want to confirm if it's compatible with my system. The WD_BLACK SN850X has an M.2 2280 form factor and i think mine is M.2 2242


Can anyone with experience upgrading their Lenovo LOQ laptop's SSD (or similar hardware) chime in and let me know if this SSD is compatible?


Thanks in advance for your help!"

2280 should fit.
