Here a little story: I was sad with my 4gb ram and 120gb nvme laptop because it's too small, so I decided to upgrade it. I will upgrade it in 8gb of ram and add a 240gb sata ssd. The first part, the ram, i'ts easy, no problem.
But when I was going to put the ssd I discovered that I didn't had a plug for sata, but there was still a chance, the sata slim plug from the CD drive. I bought an adapter, so I put the ssd with adapter. Nothing happened.
First I thought that the SSD didn't work, so I plug it in my PC. My PC detected the SSD with no complications.
Now I don't know what to do.

Hi,
The best idea for your notebook would be to upgrade the M2 SSD. You can insert an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD from your preferred brand and capacity
To install the 2.5" SSD you need
drive cable L20456-001
drive connector board l20457-001
