Hello!
I hope this forum is suitable for your query.
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 16IRL8 with 16G soldered RAM and an i5-1335U processor.
The system only has one drive slot, either a 2230 or 2880.
Could there be any way to install a second drive on the motherboard?
I understand this might be difficult, but I wanted to check if it's even possible.
I’m sure Lenovo uses this model in other configurations and maybe there’s a solution.
We can always dream, right?
TIA
Rudy

If there is no connection or port on the motherboard, the options are:
1. Swap the current drive for a bigger one.
2. Opt for an external solution.
