    Dude, you're already active in a very similar thread in the Lenovo subforum, and you're aware of very comprehensive threads that have the answer.

    To go strictly by the book, any disassembly of the SSD's casing will void the warranty, but if there is no warranty tampering sticker, and you're careful enough not to strip the screws, they'll most likely won't give you a hard time on it.

    You have created many threads regarding this in the Lenovo subforum and here. Removing the spacer shouldn't void the warranty unless you screw it up and damage the SSD. Same policy should apply to Intel 2.5" SSDs.
