Introdução

Ir para o passo 1

Use this guide to upgrade or replace the M.2 solid-state drive (SSD) in a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IMH05 laptop. This laptop is only compatible with NVME SSDs, and is therefore not compatible with SATA SSDs.

Before you perform this repair, back up your existing SSD if possible. If you are replacing the SSD where your operating system is installed, familiarize yourself with a disk cloning utility so you’ll be ready to migrate your data to the new SSD.

Finally, be sure to completely power off and unplug your laptop. Make sure the laptop is not in standby, sleep, or hibernation mode.

Is it possible to add 2nd SSD? Which type?

Torsten S - Responder

same doubt...

Aldrin -

is it possible ? help us AND THANKS FOR ALL.

Axel Garay -

It is possible, as I'm in the process of doing it. The original M2.NVME is a short one, I began by removing it as I could see the original short screw stand off could be unscrewed, leaving one for the standard longer length M2 drives. I thought I'll put the short M2 drive in the 2nd slot (higher up) but then noticed that stand-off wasn't in the right place either. Then I noticed the unused higher up slot stand-off could be slid right, removed and there was the same clamp system to the left where the stand-off could be resituated.

I now have 2 M2.NVME drives in, cloned the smaller to the larger and can format the 2nd if I want.

Can I use 2 M.2 SSDs drives altogether with my original 1TB HDD.I've already tried this many times but unfortunately I always fail. The new SSD m.2 2280 either is not detected or has errors such as name and size change! Thanks

it is possible than you can do the same steps for 15ACH6?

allan alonso - Responder

Hi allan, we've written SSD replacement guides for the Legion 5 15ACH6H. It's a different model than the 15ACH6 and there may be some minor visual discrepancies but the procedure is the same.
