    Dear friends

    I bought recently Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H Product number:82JQ00JDIN in India

    It came with 32 GB ram

    it has default 1 TB NVME SSD


    My question is: (since not clear based on standard documentation)


    Can it take another M2. 2280 PCIe nvme ssd?

    Can it support 2 TB?

    if i purchase Gen 4.0 does it increase speed?


    Kindly respond and also suggest good SSD to be purchased as additional storage based on above answers.


    Thank You Pls respond

    Yes.

    Yes.

    No. PCI-Express Gen 4 is currently only supported on Intel 11th-gen CPUs.

    Whatever is cheapest that's from a name brand (Crucial, WD, SanDisk, Samsung, etc).

    According to a question on Amazon- Yes / The easiest answer would be to pop the bottom off and look inside though to confirm

    Sure, it can eve support the max 8TB if you wanted to spend the money to do so.

    I should clarify my previous statement about PCI-Express Gen 4. You can purchase a drive so equipped and use it in a Gen 3 slot as it is backwards compatible, but you're not going to realize any speed improvements so it's not worth paying the price premium.
