Does the Lenovo V15 G2 ALC Ua 82KD Take an NVMe SSD?
Lenovo V15 G2 ALC Ua 82KD
NVMe storage was observed in reports for this laptop.
- Reports
- 5
- Saw NVMe
- 100%
- Fastest link observed
- PCIe Gen3 ×4
The fastest link we saw in real machines was PCIe Gen3 ×4. That is a floorobserved in field reports, not the slot’s ceiling — a faster drive still works because PCIe is backward compatible; it simply runs at the slot’s speed.
Field reports can’t tell us the physical connector, how many slots are empty, or which M.2 length fits. Check the service manual and the installed drive before you buy.
Reported by field data
- Storage controller:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode]
- Platform:
- Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir/Cezanne Root Complex
- Drives seen:
- Samsung 980 (DRAM-less)
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 5 independent hardware reports for the Lenovo V15 G2 ALC Ua 82KD, of which 100% observed an NVMe drive. We read the PCI device list in each report to tell NVMe apart from SATA.
