    Hello,

    I am receiving my new W520 today and want to install a Intel 310 mSATA SSD. Yesterday, I started reading posts at Lenovo that some people have problems with SSDs and Master and hard drive passwords. After setting those passwords, the SSD is unusable. What makes me most upset, is the answer of Lenovo that SSDs other than the the offered ones are not supported!

    Link to the forum thread

    Does anybody have experience with that type of problem? What is your configuration

    UEFI/legacy BIOS
    BIOS version
    SSD type
    Master and/or hard drive password
    SSD working?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Found the 1.26 BIOS update, although, I cannot find information about the Intel 310 mSATA. Where did you see that information?

    Thanks, MCheiron
