Hi everyone!

The T440p and most newer Lenovo laptops do not support an mSATA SSD. The SSD slot - if there is one - is M.2/NGFF. Here's a company that provides M.2 SSDs, and has a compatibility list. Lenovo ThinkPad T440p - Intel Core i5-4200M ( 2.50GHz 1600MHz 3MB) overview and full product specs on CNET. M.2 Card Ethernet Controller(s). Security lock slot (cable lock sold separately). Lenovo® ThinkPad T440p Lenovo ThinkPad T440p Lenovo ThinkPad T440p. Some: M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD), via M.2 card slot, exclusive with WWAN card Widescreen.

My son is upgrading his work laptop from a T440p to a T470 and is tossing the T440p to me, (see, if ya raise them right.... ).

View and Download Lenovo ThinkPad T440p user manual online. 7-mm height solid-state drive. M.2 solid-state drive. Open the latches on both sides of the slot.

I'm planning a few mods, (my son is a dev, but left the machine 'stock'), mainly the screen and touchpad. I also want to upgrade the drive to either a 128gb M.2 with a 1 TB drive for data in the main HDD slot, or 128 2.5 SSD and swap out the CD/DVD for a caddy to hold the 1 TB drive.
I've been looking at the specs and I can't find any information on the M.2 speeds for a SSD. Is it better to get a regular 2.5 SSD for this machine or will the M.2 provide faster throughput? Theoretically, the M.2 should be faster, but as I said, I can't find any details.
Thanks!

Lenovo Thinkpad T440 M 2 Slot

Hello,
I have been planning to add a 240GB/256GB SSD to the spare M.2 Slot on my motherboard (2242) - T440P
I have narrowed down my options to some options:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-TS24 ... ers&sr=1-2
https://www.amazon.co.uk/KingDian-240GB ... ers&sr=1-7
https://www.amazon.co.uk/XuBa-Solid-Lap ... rs&sr=1-57

The XuBA Drive and Kingdian drives are £10 cheaper than the transcend, and all m.2 2242's with SATA 3 interface are more expensive than standard SSD's.
I just want to check: A) will all three of these drives work, or will i face dificulties with them working?
and B) is thr transcend that much better than the cheaper ones? They are all low cost brands as far as U know?
