Is this needed? I am purchasing 2.5" SSD for x230t convertible laptop .

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.

seperate but the ssd is not your standard 2.5" it is either proprietary or msata/mini pcie

You could use a drive like this but what's the point - since the laptop already has a hybrid SSD/HDD set up. Additionally, I found this laptop to be slow and unresponsive until I installed an SSD drive (Samsung 840). I'd recommend just going with the largest SSD you can afford because it will really allow to use the rest of the laptop to its full potential. FInally, that particular drive is too thick at 9.5mm - there are mods to take some of these drives down to the required thickness of 7mm but again, what's the point - just get an SSD if anything.

You should use the power adapter with 3.5" drives. You really don't need to with 2.5" drives

you probably need a SATA Cable, and also some brackets to mount the SSD. As the packaging don't come with brackets.

Although they both have the SATA 3 6GBs header, you can actually fit an SSD into the taller case. Not much point, though, with a 250GB mSATA main drive already there, unless you've got some other mini SATA device. It's never going to be a speed rig with a 15W TDP processor, so halving the SSD response delay by using a RAID0 won't help much, and it's got 4X USB 3 ports for data. The Intel HD Graphics 5000 is stunning. I heartily recommend this machine.

You need an open bay, or slot to put the drive into. It is well worth the exchange, if there is no other available. Start-up and picture loading becomes closer to instantaneous. The ssd will use less battery, will not get the computer as hot (which always works against speed), and is less delicate.

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased it, to upgrade my laptop drive to an ssd. I had purchased the ssd earlier, but it didn't come with the cable, so I got this cable, and it worked like a charm. I just used the cloning software that came with the ssd. It was way easier than I expected to upgrade the laptop too, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to upgrade because I went from waiting 30+ seconds for things to open, to a near instantaneous response.

SATA is backwards compatible so it should be fine. In fact, if you are replacing a plater drive it should be faster even with the 1.5 Gb/sec bottleneck.

Not required for laptops! This bay is designed for desktop computers with HD bays. Your laptop should have a space designed for an SSD and this SSD has various screw holes in it (screws included) that should fix it inside your laptop just fine. I cannot say for sure as I do not have experience with your model but I do know SSDs do not usually require bays when placed inside laptops.Enjoy the awesome upgrade!

Yes, I have the same laptop and I am doing it right now. This is the perfect little SSD for your laptop. It is the same exact size as the 24 GB SSD cache drive.

Yes, it will be fine. The 3.5 can fit into the existing bay that I installed 2 SSD's in. The Solid State drive can then fit sideways on the left side of the DVD bay screwed against that slot in one of those cheap 3.5 to 2.5 conversion racks. I almost did that myself because I wanted an internal card reader. I changed my mind. One bit of advice. I installed a 120mm fan on the inside of the right hand vents. It runs a heck of a lot cooler with that cross ventilation. I am typing on the unit now & it's running really good. I installed 8 GBs of ram and a video card though. Good luck to you.

Yes and No, the process requires a slightly more lengthy process. I would do some research and see if you are comfortable with the install. Here is an example of some helpful information. http://jeffreypalermo.com/blog/adding-a-second-ssd-to-my-lenovo-yoga-amp-8gb-ram/ I am not overly familiar with the process however.

The item is a barebone, it does not include system memory or storage. Please note, the system will not accept a 2.5" form factor SSD. Instead, mSata SSD must be used.

This is an internal SSD. It doesn't have any connectors for a laptop, so you will need to get some sort of external enclosure if you want to use it like an external drive.

Yes you can. here is a link to see what kind of SSD drive available for this laptop http://drivesolutions.com/cgi/shop/ug2store.cgi?command=listitems&kind=hpl&pos=0&type=itemid&itemid=hpl283 Good luck, this laptop totally worth it.

IF you want to add an SSD to a desktop look for a 2.5 inch SSD with an adapter kit to fit a 3.5 inch drive bay. 2.5 inch drives are normal for laptops, 3.5 are normal for desktop. This product, an MSATA card, is a specialty product for laptops that have an MSATA port. It has only 4 channels vs. 8 on a typical SSD of 2.5 inches, so you would not use this unless you absolutely needed the MSATA form factor.
