Does the Lenovo IdeaPad 300-15ISK 80RS Take an NVMe SSD?
Lenovo IdeaPad 300-15ISK 80RS
Every one of 12 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 Sunrise Point-LP SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers
- Drives seen:
- WDC WD10JPCX-24U, KINGSTON SA400S3, P3-512
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 512 GB (100%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 12 independent hardware reports for the Lenovo IdeaPad 300-15ISK 80RS, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
