Does my Lenovo have a second SSD slot and is my find suitable?
I'd like to expand my laptop's memory. First, some information:
LENOVO Legion 7i 15IMH05, Gaming Notebook with 15.6-inch Display, Core™ i7 Processor, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q, Slate Gray
I read that I have two slots, but I only use one.
I'm not sure if I really have 2 slots, but I'll check again when I unscrew it.
Given the price-performance ratio, I think this could be the right SSD for you. I'd play LoL, Genshin Impact, Valorant, and maybe GTA:
Crucial P3 Plus 1TB PCIe M.2 2280 SSD
Does anyone have experience with this? Am I on the right track? I would be very grateful for any answers before I make my purchase!

Hello,
Your Lenovo Legion 7i 15IMH05 has two M.2 slots for SSDs. According to Notebookcheck.com, both slots are already occupied in your laptop. The currently installed SSD has a reading speed of 3,500 MB/s and a writing speed of 3,000 MB/s. The Crucial P3 Plus that you consider is faster with 5,000 MB/s reading and 3,600 MB/s writing. But you might have to remove one of the existing SSDs to install the new one.
Regarding games: A faster SSD can reduce the charging times in games, which can be particularly advantageous in games with large worlds or frequent charging processes such as GTA. In addition, a faster SSD can help the game run more liquid, as data can be loaded faster. However, the actual game performance also depends on other factors such as the processor, the memory and the graphics card. Consider whether the improvement of charging times and possibly a slightly improved game performance justify the effort and costs of the upgrade.
Oh, thank you very much! I need to remove one? I think the one slot is up right and the other down left 😮 Then that would be easier or?
In short, yes, if the M.2 slots of your laptop are separate, this makes the exchange easier. You can choose the slot to be replaced.
Right, even if the free slot is under the current SSD, it should not be a problem. You can carefully remove the existing SSD, use the new ones and then reinstall the old ones.
All right! I need more storage. But if I were the slot under one SSD, there shouldn’t be any problem getting away from the old one, shouldn’t I?
Jup, touching the heating before working on the laptop helps to unload you statically. Simple and effective.
You’re welcome
You’re helping me out. Thank you. To unload me statically, a touch of my heater should be right? I’m afraid
