Thanks for the clarity of the presentation. I am having difficulty with Lenovo identifying and purchasing a 256 GB replacement SSD for my yoga pro 2 laptop. Any suggestions about what the specs of that drive might be and where I can find one would be most appreciated.

That looks like an M.2? I’m trying to figure that out myself, I’ll let you know if I find out.

I had to use a Torque #5 for the eleven screws on the back … the #00 Phillips was perfect for the SSD card itself.

How do you put the new one in? By reversing the process?

I am trying to find a reader for this old SSD. I purchased a M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, which I thought would work as a SATA PCIe M-Key(B+M Key) ssd reader but it doesn’t fit. Anyone point me towards a correct adapter?
