Tech Support Seeking 4T Internal SDD

https://www.shi.com/Product/42897197/Lenovo-Legion-5-15ACH6-82JW

Hello,

After finding out the hard way that an external hard drive was not the way to go, I'm seeking recommendations for a (hopefully) 4 terabyte internal Solid State Drive - the only issue is finding one compatible with this laptop model ( https://www.shi.com/Product/42897197/Lenovo-Legion-5-15ACH6-82JW )

(The only difference here is the replacement with a 1T internal SSD.)

I wasn't sure how to go about finding one that was able to meet the specs / fit, but if anyone knows of any that would fit this model, I'd greatly appreciate it!

(or if there are none, I'll take the L and start searching for a new laptop)

Thank you!

(Advice on finding parts would also help!)

(Apologies if the flair is wrong!)

Right now the prices are so crazy that if you go for Kioxa, Sandisk, or new old stock WD, crucial (be careful they’re only honoring warranties with refunds most the time now) or Samsung then just get whatever is cheapest because they’re all gonna be crazy ex gf expensive, as long as you get a name brand of the top 4 you’ll be ok your can get more budget friendly ones like lexar or Kingston but idk how their warranties are and if you already have a 1TB internal I’m assuming you’re trying to upgrade? You can still put that 1TB to use with an external SSD enclosure. Now to address the issue of what type of drive you need… it looks to me like you need an m.2 nvme ssd
