SSD M.2 2242 PCIe 4x4 Lenovo 1TB (MPN: 5SS0V26462)

Lenovo SSD M.2 2242 PCIe 4x4 1TB provides high-capacity solid‑state storage in the compact M.2 2242 form factor. Designed for compatible laptops, mini‑PCs and embedded systems, this SSD uses a PCIe 4x4 interface to deliver faster sequential transfer speeds than older interfaces. The 1TB capacity suits system installations, application storage and larger data sets while keeping a small physical footprint for space‑constrained devices.

Advantages

The PCIe 4x4 interface enables improved read and write throughput for faster boot and application load times when supported by the host platform. The 2242 form factor allows installation in devices with limited M.2 slot depth without sacrificing storage capacity. Being a solid‑state device, it reduces access latency and increases reliability compared with mechanical drives. Its 1TB capacity balances ample storage for operating systems, applications and user data in a compact module.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptop or mini‑PC storage where M.2 2242 is supported
• Using as a primary system drive for faster boot and system responsiveness
• Application and game storage requiring higher sequential throughput
• Embedded systems or compact builds with limited internal space

Key specifications

• Form factor: M.2 2242
• Interface: PCIe 4.0 x4 (NVMe protocol compatible)
• Capacity: 1 TB
• Usage: internal solid‑state drive for storage and system installation
• Compatibility: designed for devices that accept M.2 2242 PCIe drives

How to use

Power down the host device and disconnect power before installation. Locate the M.2 2242 slot on the motherboard or adapter, align the notch and gently insert the SSD at the recommended angle, then secure it with the designated standoff and screw. Reconnect power and enter the system firmware or operating system to verify device recognition. Initialize, partition and format the drive as required by your operating system, or restore an image if migrating from an existing drive.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the host device supports M.2 2242 PCIe 4x4 modules and check for any BIOS/UEFI firmware updates that improve NVMe compatibility. Use proper electrostatic discharge precautions during installation and maintain current backups when migrating data. For best sustained performance, ensure adequate thermal management in compact enclosures.
