What is the option to add SSD to Lenovo Z480

Hello,

Im waiting for my new Lenovo Z480 to be delivered at the end of the month. Here is the specification that i have ordered:

Graphics
Intel Integrated HD Graphics 4000

-----------------------------------

The first upgrade will be the adding of SSD. The problem is that i dont want to have one external 500GB drive. My question is there any option to have SSD + HDD in my laptop ? I just want to put my OS and some application on the SSD and movies , music and other stuff on HDD. I want to offer me somthing in the middle class 128GB? Preffering to buy from US or Europe online shop.

 

As a general rule you can remove your OPtical Drive and with the help of an adapter place the 500 GIG hard drive in that bay.
I would contact Lenovo and see if such an adapter is available for the Z480. There have been many good deals recently on SSD's see this thread: Notebook and Tech Bargains
AFA brands Privatejarhead makes some good points here http://forum.notebookreview.com/sol...e/684894-some-questions-ssds.html#post8808857 :thumbsup:

 

Thank you for your fast response. Can you tell what size of SSD should i be looking for 2.5 or 3.5 ? And is there any difference between SSD for laptop and SSD for Desktop ? I have see in the laptop specs in lenovo site that i have 1 mini PCIe . Can this be used for SSD? In that way i dont have to remove my big HDD?

 

2.5

If it's SATA you can put it in PC or lap

Now Intel 330 ssd 180gb in on sale at tigerdirect with 154.99 and after mail-in-rebate is 144.99, if you order through mrrebate you get 4% cash back, totally it just $0.78/gb, it gonna be very decent ssd for the price.
