Does the Lenovo C-Notebook XXXX 3000 G400 Take an NVMe SSD?
Lenovo C-Notebook XXXX 3000 G400
Every one of 7 field reports observed SATA storage rather than NVMe.
That is useful evidence about the reported machines, but it does not prove that every configuration lacks an NVMe slot or that the installed SATA drive is 2.5-inch rather than SATA M.2. Check the service manual, connector, dimensions, and current drive before ordering.
Field reports can’t tell us whether the SATA drive is a 2.5-inch bay or a SATA M.2 slot, nor which M.2 length fits — check the service manual before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M Family) SATA Controller [IDE mode]
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub
- Drives seen:
- INTEL SSDSC2BW12
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
How we know
This answer is derived from 7 independent hardware reports for the Lenovo C-Notebook XXXX 3000 G400, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
