I used the Apricorn Drive Wire Kit with EZ GIG IV software to clone the 128 GB SSD in a Lenovo X220 laptop, at 19%, it started getting Read errors, when it finishes, it has over 6000 read errors and said the clone failed. The upgrade SSD is Crucial m4 256GB. Has anyone done the SSD upgrade in a X220 laptop?

Not a Lenova - but it all worked flawlessly in my 7-year-ols Dell Inspiron E1705. Try calling Crucial's support.

Hi, I have not had occasion to try, so I can't answer the question first-hand. Here is a link that says the RAM is all soldered (not upgradeable) and that the SSD form factor is not one of the usual commercial standards. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1903/3/ There are different hardware versions and revisions, so your mileage may vary, but I would assume not (easily) on both counts.

Dear Mr. Harris thanQ for your enquiry and the Thoshiba 128GB Q series Pro was replaced in my above mention laptop perfectely and working well. This new SSD Drive is running more speed than my old 500 GB mechanical drive after cloningon Windows 7 OS. Now I am using my old drive as external drive for the same laptop pc.

Hello, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to answer your question. That is not correct. The SSD like other internal drives is not operating system specific and will function in systems with SATA3 or SATA2 connections. What is operating system specific is the Acronis TruImage Cloning software included in the bundle package. New current version that is shipping is compatible with Windows 8/8.1. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.

I have 3 of these Sabrent drive enclosures and I populated two with 500GBs and one with 1TB. All three worked as I expected. BTW, I only tested them on USB 2.0 connections. I'm still waiting for my "GMYLE® ExpressCard 34mm to USB 3.0 Adapter (Dual Port)" to see if the USB 3.0 connection is any better. I currently do not have a machine with a "native" USB 3.0 interface. I have not tested these units using an SSD.

The data sheet says two GB network interfaces. It also supports iSCis but I have not tried that function. Data sheet implies separate iSCSI and file access. The unit is easy to setup and has worked flawlessly for more than a year now. I also have iX2 that is running into year six with no problems. iX4 Data sheet is at this link: http://www.lenovo.com/images/products/server/pdfs/datasheets. /lenovoiomega_ix4_data_sheet_q12013.pdf Good luck!

I'm using a "Crucial M500 M.2 2280 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT120M500SSD4 " that I caught on sale for $46 for boot and antivirus, with a 500GB ssd for pgms and a 1TB for snapshots and data. No problems with install from optical disk, no problems running Win7. Not any faster than a standard ssd. Consider what you will do when the M.2 ssd fails, do you have a back up replacement ready to go? Or will you revert to a standard ssd?

Yes it is. Always check the products website for more detail. Amazon does not always list the needed info on the product.And if I were you, I'd buy this instead, it's backwards compatible:Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey)

Yes, it works just like any other SATA drive. Just plug it in. But the big benefit is speed. An SSD makes a huge difference, but be sure to activate the "Rapid" function via the enclosed software from SamSung, you get another 100% boost in benchmark speed. I would do a fresh install of Windows and programs. However, Samsung does include a "clone" software for the SSD that has one function, all or nothing, and works very, very well. Try that first if you have a system and programs that you want to migrate to the new computer. But if you are new to Lenovo, the best long-term is to make everything fresh so there are no Qwirks.

per apricorn specs: the x1 has data transfer speeds up to 400 MB/sec*..the x2 up tp 550 MB. Depends on your need and whether or not you want to tie up your only x16 slot. Also you need to look at where it will fit in your case. Hope this helps

It has been a while since I used this, so I don't remember all of the details. I used it once to go from a smaller SSD to a larger SSD and it worked perfectly (both SSDs were Intel). Then I tried to go from a larger HDD to an SSD (even though there was adequate space), but it didn't work, and the help line told me that the kit was not designed to do that and would not work. So I got a copy of Ghost to do the task.

I installed the SSD in my Gateway NV55C bought in 2011, upgraded last year from Win 7 to Windows 8 and lately to 8.1 - and worked flawlessly. Not a single problem.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I don't know much about the drive. The one in my Dell Inspiron failed and this was a good economical replacement.
