    Hi all,

    Just wondering if any of you have upgraded the internal HD on the Lenovo X1 Carbon 20A7. The form factor is M.2 and wondering which drives worked fine for you?

    Have tried a Crucial M.2 and having instability problems so thought id ask here for recommendations and confirmed working versions :)

    Please assist thanks

    Model 20A70039US, upgraded to Crucial 480GB (CT480M500SSD4), not single issue in a month or so.

    Can you share tips on how you did the upgrade? Did you clone the original to target (upgrade)? Or did you make a set of recovery discs? I am thinking of either the Crucial 480 GB or the 256GB and would appreciate help.
