Hi,

i just wanted to know if the X1 Carbon Gen 6 model 20KG-S2Y600 does use PCIe/NVMe M2 SSD or if is uses M2 SATA SSD? I am planning to get a refurbished one.

Thanks in advance,

chris 

Hi,

as per product specs, there is an option:

Storage up to 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD

thanks, Zuzana

Thanks for your answer! "Option" means, the model 20KG-S2Y600 is basically capable to run both SSD types? The refurbished X1 I have in mind unfortunately only specifies the SSD size, the information about which interface it is connected to, I could not find out from the dealer. My plan is to replace the existing (too small) SSD with a 1TB M2 SSD PCIe 3 x4 anyway. Therefore, the question whether this model supports such an SSD and whether I can use the full PCIe perfomance.

Thanks!

Yes an M.2 NVMe , PCIe 3.0 x 4 is fully supported.
I have an X1 Carbon 6th Gen - Type 20KH.
The X1 Carbon 6th Gen is a very good notebook and I am very happy with mine. You can install an NVMe SSD with 1TB without any problems.
