7mm SSD for Lenovo X200?

Hey
I want to replace my old HDD with a SSD. So I discovered that the Lenovo X200 need a 7mm SSD. But I can't find one. I know that Lenovo deliver the X200, X201,X220 with SSD. So does somebody know which model they use? Or a model that fits?

MSATA or 2.5" SSD for Lenovo Thinkpad s230u Twist?

The Subject sort of explains itself, however I will add some more infromation for convenience sake:
Generally speaking I think of myself as fairly knowlageble about computers and their hardware. When it comes to laptops however I'm not so knowlagable, thus I would like to get a professional oppinion on the subject of SSD for laptops.
So I'm thinking of getting a Crucial m500 SSD (I'm so happy with my older m4 that I have full confidence in it's stability and speed) with 240GB of storage space, it comes in both mSATA and in the regular 2.5" x 7mm format. Thus I ask wheter or not to choose 2.5" or mSATA for my Thinkpad s230u Twist. It already has a 500Gb Hitachi harddrive provided originaly by Lenovo, thus if I choose the mSATA I would be able to have a total of 740Gb of fast and reliable storage.
What are your oppinions on such an installation? should I just go for mSATA or choose the regular 2.5" format?
Rainmaker91
P.S: I should probably just inform that Lenovos solutions is not an option due to it's extreme price and the drives beeing outdated. Also I don't need the Lenovo warranty and support due to the "Warranty" provided by law in my country.

I have replaced my 500GB HD with a 2.5" Samsung 830 series, 128 GB SSD. After researching the benefits of both the "Main Drive" socket and the mSATA socket, I learned that in virtually ALL Laptops, the mSATA socket is limited to only mSATA II speeds, ie. 3 GB/sec, while the Main Drive socket can handle the 6 GB/sec characteristic of the SATA III properties. This higher speed is, after all, why one would go to the trouble of replacing the Drive to begin with. I did also put a 120 GB mSATA SSD in my WWAN socket (I have an Edge 530), where I store most of my new programs for easy, fast retrieval...So, I would definitely go with the 2.5" SSD.....fruhlpmd.....

High performance SSD for my X200 Tablet

Hi,
I have the X200 Tablet 7450 ERG. Preinstalled in the computer is a Samsung SSD 64GB disk - but I have found no information about the form factor of the disk, and I am uncertain about what disk to get as replacement due to that (so it fits perfectly inside the machine). Just after installing the nessecarily programs and functions I use, and having a minimum of storage place for the most recent files I work on - I am left with 5-7GB of storage...
What disk can I get to increase the storage AND performance of my machine. If battery time is a little shorter, I don't care, and price don't scare me too much either.
Technical performance (as high as possible speed under all conditions without lag) and 128GB+ storage is a requirement.
Looking forward to get your recommendations!
Regards,
OA

I was in your exact situation. I liked having an SSD, but found the small size to be rather painful. I now have an OCZ Vertex 120GB SSD installed in my X200 Tablet. I also have Intel SSDs in my desktops. I know there is a 250GB OCZ, and a 160GB Intel. Both are very, very fast, and both can be installed in the X200T. An advantage that the latest OCZ Vertex and Intel drives have is that they have TRIM support, which helps mitigate the performance degradation issue you see in SSDs, at least under Windows 7.
Both were easy to install, although the OCZ needed a firmware update. The X200T did not play nice with the firmware update software, and I had to drop it into my desktop to do that.
The only problem with replacing the Samsung SSD, at least the one I received, is that it's a 1.8" disk, with the appropriate mounting bracket. Why Lenovo chose that form factor is beyond me, because the drive bay can fit a 2.5". I was not able to find a suitable drive bracket for a 2.5" disk on Lenovo's site, but I found one relatively easily on EBay, and I assume if you call Lenovo you can order the correct part over the phone. While I was waiting for the it to arrive, I made do with a folded piece of paper wedged in under the drive to hold it in place. Sad, i know, but I couldn't wait, and it worked.
If you don't want to deal with the drive bracket, Intel also makes 1.8" versions of their SSDs, which as far as I know perform just like their 2.5" equivalents. They are a bit hard to find, though.

SSD for Lenovo D20

Hello,I have a Lenovo D20 with a serial CSCI (SAS) main harddrive. I haven't changed this configuration (remains as I bought it)I'd like to find1. which Crucial SSD would fit the configuration and be the proper replacement for the SAS HD.2. The steps involved in replacement: basically how to image the HD drive to the SSD, then remove HD and install the SSD. Help is greatly appreciated.thanksKal.

If you are happy using Windows 7 and the Lenovo D20, then installing an SSD would provide an evolutionary low cost upgrade. I don't know your specific needs, but from my experience a Sata III running at Sata II speeds is sufficient for general purpose computing, assuming you have a reasonable cpu, memory and video card. Windows 7 end of life is 2020, so you have a few years to look at the next generation of OS and Hardware. By that stage Windows 12 could be out and NVMe SSDs cheap as! I have Windows 10 Technical preview which is an improvement on Windows 8, but I remain unconvinced and will not move off Windows 7. The big question is what does Windows 10 give me that I don't already have with Windows 7? With a non existent Microsoft Ecosystem, the answer is very little. From my side, I am sticking with Windows 7 on a reduced number of machines and moving to Apple OS X and iOS. Not only do I get a progressive OS with free annual upgrades of OS X and iOS, but I also get an Ecosystem that links desktop(iMac)/portability(MacBook)/mobility(ipad, iphone). Now with Trimforce enable on OS X 10.10.4, it's all too easy.

SSD for lenovo w520

Hello,
I have a 2 year old w520 running windows 7 64 bit. I want to upgrade the HDD to an SSD but I remember there were some issues with certain SSD drives not working well with these machines. Will any of the newer intel SSD drives work ok with my laptop?
Thanks.

I popped a newer Intel 520 in my 530, and the responsiveness is so much improved it is unbelievable. I use my laptop for video editing, and moving large files into and out of the program is so much quicker now, pretty much instant responses.
The laptop was booting in under 30 seconds after the SSD, but now has gotten very slow, taking longer to boot than my HDD MacBook Pro.....very strange, but after it boots, it's a speed demon. No issues, and the factory system restore disks worked to install to the SSD, unlike some system restore disks which have a heart attack if the disk size is smaller or different than the original spec HDD.......not too small, but simply smaller won't work on my HP disks.

Which is the best WLAN card for my lenovo x200 notebook?

Hello!
I hope somebody could help for me. I bought a new Lenovo X200 notebook but it hasn't got WLAN card. So I have to buy a mini PCI-E WLAN card. In my notebook there is a webcam so I find only 2 wlan cable (1 black and 1 grey). The question is: witch is the best WLAN card for me?
Intel 5100
Intel 5300
or
ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter
Please help me.
I can use intel 5300 (it has 3 connection port) if I have only 2 cable?

On the Lenovo X200 support page you will find the X200 Hardware Maintenance Manual which lists all the parts in the X200.
You will find there that the 43Y6493 is Lenovo's Intel 5100.

Best SSD for T410 at the moment?

Hi,
short questions:
What is the best/fastest SSD for a T410 at the moment that i can order from Lenovo?
And if i dont order the ssd from lenovo but buy one from market what is the best that fits in the 410?
T410 only supports 1,8" right? Are there any problems expected with a not lenovo certified ssd?
And is there a list of the original manufacturer of the Lenovo SSD's so i can look for Tests?
Thank you for your help!

The T series will have SATA 3 controllers (420, 420s, and 520).
Physical size doesn't matter for speed.
1.8" should be every bit as fast as 2.5".
The 3 things that modify speed are:
-Capacity (bigger = faster)
-Controller (some faster than others)
-Connection (SATA 3 SSDs work slower in SATA 2 mode)
I don't think that Intel will release 510's in 1.8", though that might change in time.
Also, in terms of the T410s, the only thing you have to worry about is battery life. You can't have a 9-cell battery in the T410s but you can in the standard T410.
You also need a 1.8" drive for the T410s IIRC whereas the T410 can take any 9.5 mm x 2.5" SSD you can throw at it (also, the T420s has will have a similar problem when it comes out since it's got a not-that-common 7mm bay but the T420 can take 9.5mm drives as normal.)

Recommended SSD for x121e

Can anyone recommend a 120Gb SSD for a x121e?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I have had good results with Crucial, Corsair, Intel, Kingston, MyDigitalSSD and OCZ SSDs in various ThinkPads I have used.
My understanding is that any "standard" 9.5 mm-high 2.5" SSD that operates at SATA rev 2.0 (3.0Gb/s) speeds will fit into the X121e, however, you might want to consider getting a "shorter" 7mm-high SSD in case you want to re-use the SSD in the future in a computer which only has a 7mm high drive bay. A 7mm high drive fits just fine into a 9.5mm high drive bay, and there's no difference in cost, as the only difference between models is the plastic or metal shell surrounding the circuit board that makes up the SSD. Likewise, you can also get a faster SATA rev. 3.0 (6.0Gb/s) SSD, but it will only operate at the slower 3.0Gb/s speed.

HDD for lenovo Twist

Could you please recommand me some compatible HDD for Lenovo Twist? The hdd went dead. looking to 7200 RPM with 500 - 1000 GB capacity.
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Any 2.5" 7mm high HDD should work, which are a little less common than the 9.5mm high drives normally used in notebook computers, but becoming more common. The S230u's FRU List gives the following part numbers and models:
04W0570 - B500 Toshiba
04W0576 - C320AF Seagate
04W0582 - 7200RPM SATA 320GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-320
04W0583 - 7200RPM SATA 500GB 7.0mm AF 6Gb/s Toshiba AQUARIUS-C SLIM-500
04W0592 - 5400RPM 500GB 7.0mm 6Gb/s WD MN500S-500
04W3923 - 5400 JAGUAR-B7 500
04W3926 - 5400 MN500S 500GB
04W3927 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 320
04W3929 - 7200 JAGUAR-C7 500
You could also use a 2.5" 7mm high SSD as well, although if you do, you should not enable the iRST or ExpressCache caching with the mSATA SSD as it will actually slow things down. You could still use the mSATA SSD as a small secondary drive for backups, etc.

Windows 7 On Lenovo X200. Please Help!

Hi,
I need help getting Windows 7 to work properly on my Lenovo X200 laptop. My X200 is dual-booted with Vista and has the Intel X4500. Here's what I need help with, I'll list them in order of importance to me.
1) Windows are messed up! (See the screenshot below) When I first boot they're alright, but after about 10-15 minutes they turn into a mess. Is this common with the beta? Or just me?
2) ThinkVantage Pop-Up (Blue Button) & Pop-ups for FN + Fx Buttons don't work
3) 'PCI Simple Communication Controller' in Device Manager
4) 'Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus' in Device Manager
5) 'Ethernet Controller' is listed under 'Safely Remove Hardware' in taskbar... not really important to me, but it would be nice if someone already knew how to get rid of it.

Go to Solution.

I'm not really sure how I resolved them... I just tried a bunch of different drivers. First Windows Update, then from the Drivers folder from my Vista Partition, and then straight from the Lenovo website. I have fixed the messed up windows though as well. I used the old Vista driver instead of the WDDM 1.1 Pre-release from Intel. The old Vista one has worked perfectly so far.
Also, the FN + Fx function stopped working now... so I guess that's still unresolved. My power managment works fine, although I'm not sure how I fixed that either, I'm assuming I just got the driver from my Vista partition.
Other than that, everything is working great now. But, do you know how I can disable Bluetooth & Wireless Lan without the FN + F5 menu? Like in a quick way, without a million menus, or without the hardware switch?

Question about SSD for T61 with Linux.

Hi, I am considering purchasing a T61 with SUSE linux installed. I had a question regarding the customization process for this laptop. The option for adding the 64GB SSD for this laptop is not available when configuring the custom options, but it is available when customizing the Windows version. Will Lenovo give me the option of having the SSD with the Linux configuration?
Thanks for any help in advance.
