This guide will walk you through the replacement of the solid state drive in your Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro. The solid state drive holds all of the data on your computer. Because of this, one should still be weary of potential dangers of disposing of the drive incorrectly. Individuals could still possibly recover the data off of the drive. Please use caution when disposing of the solid state drive.

    • Please ensure that the laptop is turned off before beginning.

    • Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the eleven 1/4" screws from the back of the laptop.

    I believe these are Torx T5, not Phillips.

    Kiran is correct.

Thanks for the clarity of the presentation. I am having difficulty with Lenovo identifying and purchasing a 256 GB replacement SSD for my yoga pro 2 laptop. Any suggestions about what the specs of that drive might be and where I can find one would be most appreciated.

That looks like an M.2? I’m trying to figure that out myself, I’ll let you know if I find out.

Did you find it?  I would go to Amazon with part number mz-m5e250bw (it’s a Samsung card) … you don’t have to buy there.

I had to use a Torque #5 for the eleven screws on the back … the #00 Phillips was perfect for the SSD card itself.

How do you put the new one in? By reversing the process?

I am trying to find a reader for this old SSD. I purchased a M.2 NVME SATA SSD Enclosure Adapter, which I thought would work as a SATA PCIe M-Key(B+M Key) ssd reader but it doesn’t fit. Anyone point me towards a correct adapter?

Note: The form factor is mSATA. I just upgraded the SSD for my Yoga 2 Pro to a 512 GB Kingston KC600. Search this model number on eBay for the best price. Beach Audio was the retailer I went with for $75 shipped. [On second note, direct from Kingston is now only $68 shipped with a sale going on, so check their site first.]


Here's the manufacturer's official page:

Travis. glad you posted even months later. I needed to know the form factor for the Yoga 2 pro SSD. I searched alot and just couldn't find out and bingo! You saved the day. I was looking for the right enclosure to save my old files before upgrading the SSD.
