Thinkpads Forum

My wife just bought a Lenovo T580 i7-8550U ?

Prior to purchase I verified that the T580 would accept a 2.5 inch SSD.

I assumed that meant that it would accept the Crucial 2.5 inch 2T in her T61p.

But no, although the 2.5 inch bay will hold her existing drive, the physical plug for the electronic connection is different.

So, is there an internal adapter which will allow me to use the 2.5 SATA Drive in her new T580 i7-8550U ?

Probably you need the correct version of this :

I have no affiliation with the seller or aliexpress and I have no idea if this is the best deal on the product.

TPFanatic thank you for your help again.
