This M.2 SSD Bracket Adapter contains an M.2 SSD cable, an M.2 adapter.

Installed M.2 SSD is PCIe 3.0 x 4 but run at PCIe 3.0 x 2 due to M.2 SSD adapter limitation Intel Optane memory, PCIe NVMe, PCIe 3.0 x 2 None. I'm planning on ordering the T480 with a HDD (and 4 gb RAM) to save some money, as Lenovo charges a lot for its SSDs. Since I've never installed the M.2 SSD by myself, I was wondering if this ADATA SSD would be compatible: Also, please feel to recommend other cheap M.2 512 gb (even higher) SSDs that are compatible with.

In this guide, I will disassemble a Lenovo ThinkPad T480s laptop. I will remove the bottom case to upgrade the RAM and SSD for my T480s.

For the freshest produce, find us on Facebook for the latest teardown news.

The ThinkPad T480s has the same integrated back cover as ThinkPad T470s. To access memory and SSDs, we need to remove the back cover first.
First of all, loosen all the screws fixing the back cover. It is worth mentioning that its screws are fixed on the back cover and cannot be removed. This has the advantage of preventing the loss of screws.
Because there is no snap on the back cover so that the back cover can be easily removed.
There are many vent holes on the back cover, and the air outlet cover is covered with a dustproof net, which can prevent dust into the inside of the laptop.

With the back cover removed, we can get access the most of the internal components, including the battery, SSD, RAM, Wi-Fi card, speaker, heat sink, cooling fan, and motherboard.
Its internal battery almost occupies half of the internal area, which is the common characteristic of most ultrabooks.
Its heatsink has two copper tubes and covers both the CPU and GPU chips. This notebook comes with an NVIDIA GeForce MX150 discrete graphics card.

The laptop comes with a Lenovo M.2 SSD (PCIe 3.0×4) and supports the NVMe protocol. If you need to upgrade a larger capacity SSD, you only need to remove one screw to remove the SSD.
Lenovo P/N: SSS0L25089, FRU: 00UP470. This seems to be Lenovo’s customized SSD. On the internal picture of another T480s on the Internet, I saw an M.2 2280 PCIe SSD from Toshiba.

The unit we’ve tested comes with one 8GB DDR4-2400 RAM onboard, and it also has a spare RAM slot that supporting up to 16GB of DDR4-2400 memory, that mean you can upgrade the RAM to 24GB.

Here’s spare M.2 2242 slot which you can install a WWAN module, the more intimate is that it has reserved for the 4G antennas.
