Thanks for your time !!! You are absolutely right ✅

I use a nylon guitar pick as my pry tool. Works well.

Man that was painful to watch!

@@thepcphone done👍

Ended up using an ssd enclosure to hold the new SSD and copied existing partitions using Macrium Reflect trial version…

@@starless9 thanks for this,..i came to ask the same question...was it a smooth process - no problems?

Very helpful tips! Happy to help! Hope you would subscribe to my channel! Thanks

Yes! All your programs and data are installed on the hard drive. You need to back it up onto an external drive and create a boot media for windows before replacing the hard drive. You can use the windows media creator for this. It has simple step by step instructions. Then simply boot from the usb/dvd and it should will install windows. Then you just need to transfer back your data. Programs will usually all have to be reinstalled though!

Yes you do!

the below link would give you an idea which sort of converter you need due to swap m.2 to data. o don't sell anything or I don't have any financial advantage from this link. hope you would subscribe to my channel if the information does help. www.ebay.co.uk/i/163932482385?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=163932482385&targetid=877696481749&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046009&poi=&campaignid=9441192411&mkgroupid=92662681381&rlsatarget=pla-877696481749&abcId=578896&merchantid=113628622&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3NX_BRDQARIsALA3fILTj2cBECv_X53urslX8_xqNWEpW93bBTMgTmbeJPWSA0WwsDOASloaAn10EALw_wcB

Hi, No this one does not take two drive at the same time but its compatible for 2.5inch sata HDD/SSD or M.2 NvMe .Unfortunately this one does not have option for second storage drive. you can see the motherboard layout in this video at 5:28 .

@@thepcphone yes, the t470 is compatible with 2 ssd drives. You can put one m.2 or sata in the 2.5 inch bay/adapter, and add a second m.2 sata 2242 ssd into the wwan slot

Sk Hynix bc501 nvme is one of the best card from my experience. Also the price is reasonable. hope you would subscribe to my channel for more videos. thank you.

@@thepcphone thx u sir

Very difficult to say As it depends on which market from you want to get? UK?India?

same procedure !

WD green M2 disk

Western digital

It does.

Yes it does have dual slots for ssd and hdd

@@thepcphone Thank you

You can but if you look for better speed then i would suggest you to add SSD instead of HDD.Hope you would subscribe to my channel. Thanks

@@thepcphone thank you

What do you mean he started from the wrong side ? Please explain, at what point in time did he do wrong ?

@@Jez2008UK according to the manual you should always start from the back especially for the T470 that does not have a middle screw at the front. You break the front clips and it will never close nicely ever again. This is why I didn't buy it and went with the T460 instead!

@@level-zero999 Wow, thanks Kemmy for the speedy reply. So that I've read you right, you're saying start prising it from the back first where the removable battery is ? From a corner first ? Or from the middle of the back ? I've only just purchased a T470 and whilst I have yet to receive it, I'm already looking / learning more about my new machine online (until it arrives later this week). I went for the T470 because I work on construction sites and wanted something that was somewhat tough, not too expensive and (for me) most importantly of all, had a really good battery life. The T470 ticks all of those boxes as far as I'm concerned :) Mine comes with a 256Gb SSD and I'm pretty sure at some point I may well want to upgrade that. Thanks for your help :)

@@Jez2008UK sure thing friend. I'm referring to the area at the back where the battery is. That is where you should start from. That's a good purchase you made. I think the T460 and T480 is pretty rugged and has more body than the T470 however that does not mean it is not well built too since it's still a Thinkpad. You should be able to upgrade it later on pretty easily. Both ram and SSD. It also has an m.2 slot so you can add a cheap sata 42mm SSD.

@@level-zero999 Is T460 upgradable to nvme slot ? I see in Marketplace many things for that,i'm not sure it will work or not

You don't have any idea about the video background, so how would you know ? Anyway thanks

@@thepcphone Because you're just some guy who opened a shop, without any prior knowledge other than "I fixed a PC once or twice" and learned everything from secondhand sources. It's evident. You didn't even wear a strap to prevent shock, you had the wrong tools - you didn't clearly explain what your were doing and you certainly did not follow proper repair procedure. So, it's clear you're an "on the job" learner as opposed to someone who actually studied, understands and teaches the field.
