Does the Lenovo IdeaPad S100 20109 Take an NVMe SSD?
Lenovo IdeaPad S100 20109
Every one of 9 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 NM10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Intel Corporation Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx DMI Bridge
- Drives seen:
- FUJITSU MHY2120B, HITACHI HTS54322, HITACHI HTS54323
Drives people actually had installed when they ran the report — not a compatibility list, and not the only drives that fit.
Capacities seen
- 320 GB (33%)
- 250 GB (33%)
- 120 GB (33%)
Sizes found installed in field reports — not a ceiling. Larger drives work fine.
How we know
This answer is derived from 9 independent hardware reports for the Lenovo IdeaPad S100 20109, of which 0% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
