SSD upgrade NVMe, SATA

Hi guys, I would like to ask you I have a lenovo Y700 laptop with a lenovo Allsparks A5 motherboard. I currently have two disks first is 128GB SSDs - Samsung MZNLN128HCGR-000L2 on which the operating system is running and an HDD with which I am still satisfied. I would like to replace the SSD with at least 500GB ssd. The question is to buy ssd with NVMe or SATA? I read a lot of threads when upgrading to NVM where there was a boot issue and so on. Is the significant difference in the transmission speed of NVMe Sata significant even in real use? And then how to do disk cloning, should I buy some reducers to connect via USB? I plan to use AOMEI Partition assisten full version for cloning. Thanks for the help and recommendations.


I was not able to find im my motherboard supports NVMe.
Thank you very much.

The SSD you are using is a SATA SSD, M.2 2280. So, in principle, you should replace it with a SATA SSD, unless the M.2 port in the computer also supports NVMe, which some do. This should be checked carefully before buying a NVMe. Ask in the Lenovo forums, check the specs, etc.

Thank you for your replies :),
I searched ssd compatible exactly for my laptom Lenovo Ideaapad Y700 15ISK, and there were NVMe ssd, is it sufficient evidence of compatibility ?

And do you think it is worth trying to buy NVMe if M.2, SATA 3 is the "safe" option which will definitely work ?.

M.2 upgrades from Crucial: SSD upgrade NVMe, SATA

You don't need to buy a drive from them, but it's clear that your Y700 can use NVME drives. NVME M.2 drives are more common than SATA these days, so that widens your choices.

If you already have a small SSD (128G) for Windows and programs and a HDD for data, why you want to replace the SSD with a bigger one?
Even with a NVMe you wont notice any performance difference (believe me, I have a Fast M.2 128 G).
You won't gain anything but a little space that probably you don't need (unless your HDD is already full)
