    I don't think so. Perhaps if you take it out of the case.

    Then I'm in trouble. I ordered a Runcore 256 GB ssd for the W520.

    Zaz,

    What is the disk interface of the W520?

    As far as I'm aware, you are limited to SATA and mSATA.

    Do you have a link to the product you ordered? I doubt you are in trouble

    First of all thank you for the names of the interfaces. :)

    The name was MyDigitalDiscount.com. I also have [email protected]

    The product was the Runcore RCP-IV-S2556-MC.

    As far as I can tell, that SSD uses a SATA interface and you should be fine.
