Thanks for the help man. I love the similar makeup of Dell laptops and the ease in upgradability 😊

Thank you, wish this was more well known. Taught me a lot!

This is so wonderful and saved me a lot.I used the video for Dell Latitude 5480 and it worked.

This is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you.

I have this same computer. Thank you for making this video, I never knew I could use the wwan slot for extra storage. 🥃😀

Hi! You mentioned the HDD connector near in top left corner around the battery bay on the motherboard. My model is slightly different than yours, but has the connector. Firstly, you need to swap the 68 Wh battery to the smaller 51 Wh - 3 cell one (that's physically shorter) and you have space for a 2,5" ssd or hdd. I know, it is a compromise between disk space or battery life, but it depends for the situation what you need. Cheers! Great video btw!

Thank you mr. Dinner! ;)

NICE BRO. U EXPLAIN VERY CLEAR,GOD BLESS

Nice info and its help me, thx bro

can you install a second os on the Toshiba drive and have the laptop dual boot?

Thanks this is helpful I have a Dell Latitude 5400 and you've answered whether it has a mini pcie slot. You can also use these slots to add a full sized PCIE dock, for adding an external GFX card.

Thank you guy!!! You make my day. 👍

Can you now clone the C drive remove it and boot from the m2 and will it be as fast as ssd if put into sata slot?

Nice job!!! can you boot from this new ssd?

Like! Petr, i wondering if I can use NVMe drive as a system drive? Was it seen in BIOS as a regular drive? Thanks!

thanks dude, you are save me from the mystery of this slot..!

Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento, execelwnte

Perfect, I can now install too, great to know, and many thanks

Thank you so much!

Excelent!!! Thanks. Can I install a SO in the disk?

I Test it in a Dell E5450 and it work. I used Ssd 128gb Nvme Pci-e 2242 Western Digital PC SN520. But I cannot make it boot from there. I updated Bios to A23 versión and nothing. Cant see the disk on bios. Any idea?

I'm just starting to learn about working on laptops, so this might be a stupid question. At 3:06, the screw that is taken out and moved to the new SSD spot in the WLAN port, is that a grounding screw? Are the screws on a laptop ever used to give a circuit a proper ground, and if so, how can you tell when they're used this way?

Thanks for the tutorial

thank you for making this video, is this ssd suitable for dell latitude e7450 model

Petr, I´ve just did that in my Latitude 3480 last week. The difference is that I shall only use the M.2 SATA 2242 in stead of NVMe. As it´s only SATA I´ve build a software RAID-0 and the speeds where really good. I read that SATA and the WWAN used to share the same PCIe lane of the processor but it didn´t. Great video tough! SATAIII disk: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB (SSD Degradated - Has 49% of remaining life) WRITE: 385.4/MBs READ: 502.6/MBs WWAN: KingDian N400 2242 128GB WRITE: 437.2/MBs READ: 504.5/MBs RAID 0 with partitions of the same size (119.69GB) WRITE: 760.7/MBs READ: 943.9/MBs Another interesting upgrade for whom has older Dell is the screen as you shall upgraded from HD to FHD with a simple swap and costs only 50USD. Best Regards!

can you make a hole in the bottom cover for the sata cable and connect the SATA SSD outside? ;)

Sweet! Thanks

Hello Petr, Thank you very informative. Please help me, i have Dell Latitude 5450, kindly confirm, if i can also install M.2 42mm SSD in the WWAN slot.

Absolutely great tutorial. But your SSD in the main tray is SATA or PCle? You did not mention it here

Thank you, can we do the same with latitude e4570?

Hey question I try it do same with dell L 5495 and just don't show it up nowhere. Funny things drivers cannot be instaled cuz don't discover ssd amd I'm stuck on middle of nowhere. On Bios it's none and don't have any option. Raid Settings?

Hi. I installed a Msata to TF card reader in WWAN slot. Fits good, pops up and down good like ram does. I can't get Bios or Windows 10 to find it. I even done I new install of Windows 10. Any advice? Thanks. Btw I had a TF card formatted with files on it in reader all the time. Dell E6540.

just checked other forum and someone said that only standard voltage CPU(i.e. XXXX-HQ) can successfully add and recognize the SSD installed at WWAN. I dont know the theory, could someone help? For me, my CPU is low voltage (Latitude E5570 6600-U installed, tried WD SN520). My laptop cannot recognize the SSD at WWAN. Sad.

For this, does latitude should have WWAN support? Cos some latitude configurations just comes with only WLAN support.

good video; Hello, could the operating system be installed on that solid state drive?

Nice video. BTW I have heard that even if the ssd Is inserted into any port, it won't be detected in my computer until the driver is installed or it has been formatted. What's your opinion on this?

My 5400 looks identical to this 5401, yet my drive doesn't show up in Device Manager or Disk Management. Is there a BIOS setting I can change?

i have dell latitude 5480, will be compatibility toshiba RC100 in to WWAN slot?

Do you know why a NVMe can be detected in the main slot, but can not be in the WWAN slot?

thank you for this information, but sorry to ask.. afaik wwan pcie on dell is gen2x1 right? can an nvme ssd reach its usual speed performance on pcie2x1?

can anyone tell me plz that the default M.2 in here is sata or PCI ? and does it support NVMe?

I have question its said on my dell latitude 3480 its only 32Gb SSD for WWAN what happened if i got 128 gb ssd?

Hi peter, how about type C support power delivery?

thank you very much

I succesfully installed 512GB M.2 2242 SSD SATA3 TLC - TS512GMTS430S ... but after half an hour .. it disappear and i'v to restert Laptop .... any suggestion ?

Can I do this on E7470? It has WWAN HCA slot. Which SSD should I buy?

I am wondering what is the speed on CrystalDiskMark?

Nice tutorial. Does it work on E5570 also?

Hi, I would like to know if Latitude 5411 has same slot? Will it work? Please help.

Does this ssd work for the dell latitude E6440

will this work on my dell 7480 wwan, went to other forums and most of themm say that it doesn't work idk why

Hello, Dell E5570 (i7), does it support installing ssd 2242 like your way?

Very Cool!

The size you already bought is M.2 SSD 2230?

Do you think a double sided 2242 will fit?

I tried Dell precision m6800 in wwan slot msata wont work it give issues of booting to other windows drive

Nice video mate!, which exactly is this 5400 model?, Do you have the product number?, thank you!

Working perfectly in 5400 with 2230 disk. Thanks a lot

It's not work on my laptop, Latitude 5480. Is there any BIOS setup to recognize it's? Thanks

How about ThinkPad T470s, pls tell if someone have tried to install ssd in wwan port

I have a Dell 3400 with an mSATA WWAN slot. So it would need an m2 SATA SSD. How will it detect?

I have the 5290 (12.5") which has the SATA port you mention at 1:18 so I got the cable, used a SATA to mSATA adapter and installed a 1tb mSATA as a second drive next to my 2tb NVMe M.2... the issue is the 5290 screen is just awful. But I can apply your method to the 5300 (13") and have a much better screen, although I will lose out on 4G, I can tether to my phone. I need an ultrabook with 2 drives, 5400 is a bit too big for my needs. Great video! Edit: I also think the 5400 comes with the HDD port and 8th gen Intel, 5401 no HDD port and 9th gen Intel.

Hi Petr, i am using Latitude 3580 and have a 500gb Sata HDD, i want nvme for my OS, if i use WWAN PCIe for nvme.. what you think it will be bootable.? for booting OS by nvme..? Please reply

Does it work on dell latitude 7280?

What is the largest size SSD that will fit in the WWAN slot in the E7440?

Hi has anyone try it same on dell latitude 5495? I have same ssd and nothing not either visible. Any suggestions?

Can that work on Dell latitude 14 7420? Thank you so much.

Will this work in a Dell 5404 Rugged?

It worked in Latitude E5570 with m.2 2242 Nvme SSD, but it have to be PCIe 2 lanes, m.2 B+M key. RC 100 will be fine, i'm using WD SN520 now.

Please help me. WWAN slot is empty on my laptop This piece is for what?

can you put a hdd and a ssd at the same time? i need like this

WOW, works great! Thank you very much 😁

would this work on a latitude 5420? Thanks.

important question - are you able to boot your system from WWAN-connected disk?

Can you boot from the WWAN port?

Ser petr CAn you make video for Dell e7240 how to use second ssd card in wwal slot it is true can use wwan slot to ssd card plc make video tankyou

I have a 2016 Dell Latitude E5250 with the WWAN slot. So to try this out, I found a cheap £10 TOSHIBA 128GB M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe SSD on eBayt. My WWAN should have the 2242 SSD card. Although too small to screw down. I was able to make the card stable, using some masking tape and sticky pads. The card was recognised, no messing with BIOS. After setting up, It works perfect. Thanks a great Vid, Now looking for a 512gb M.2 2242 SSD :-)

I was really wondering about that slot for too long. Thank you for your video! How much capacity can the slot hold?

how do i use the slot for the hdd in a latitude 5480?

This amazon link is dead. Where can I find one of these??

Does the wwan m.2 work with sata too ? or it only supports nmve (pcie) ?

Hello! It's possible to put in WWAN slot of Dell Latitude 5401 more than 256 GB hard drive? 1 TB or 2 TB for instance? And wil be work or not this hurd drive: Sabrent 1TB Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2242 ?

was it an m.2 nvme 22x30 or 22x42 gen3x2 that you installed?

huh.. you think my Dell Latitude 3350 will be able to accept the m.2?

Bro i did a mistake and buy ssd 2230 any solution or I should sell it and buy a 2242?

hi, is the m.2 nvme ssd is pcie 3x2 type?

Does it work on Lattitude 3380 also?

It is really interesting. I wonder if it can work for my Latitude E5520 in WWAN port also? Does your notebook boot from this SSD disk (I suppose not because of older BIOS)? Could you recommend another disk with higher capacity suitable for WWAN port?

can you install the OS on that drive?

will this work with deLL LATITUDE E5550

Does the PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD work with Dell Latitude 5401 ?

I have a 5400 series laptop, has anyone tried to use mSata ssd on this port?

can we use egpu in the wwan port and how

Does anyone know if this process works for Lenovo laptops? Mine is an L14 3rd generation AMD

And how about mPCIe wifi slot?

Hi Petr, I wonder if you have any follow-up (update on) this video. Did you have any chance to try a higher capacity ssd on the WWAN slot, like the Toshiba RC 100 480 GB or Lexar NM520 M.2 2242 512GB NVMe? If not, what are your thoughts about it?Thanks

I have dell latitude 6430u laptop can I add 2nd ssd?

will this work with dell 7450?

Dell latitude e7450 i7 5th in thia method work or not?

Has anyone tried that on a Latitude 5590? Does it work?
