Ladies and gentlemen. The adapter he is using is a Modified Transfer Board For Legion Go SSD Memory Card Adapter for NVME M.2 2242. They're available on Amazon if you're in the states like me.

Glad to see you finally got that adapter to mount the SSD internally instead of the external set up that you were using with magnets. This set up will work much better but will just have to monitor the temperature of the SSD when gaming. Good video!
@MGTMaxGamesTech4 ай бұрын
Thanks. Just for info: Legion already has 2 strong magnets inside, at the base. This is how the kickstand is closed at the base. Magnets have no effect on ssd or components, as long as you don’t use 1kg magnet :)

Someone should make a printable backplate that supports the mod.

How is 4Tb SSD Doing now ? Have you experienced any issues caused by increased SSD power consumption ?

You can use macrium reflect free trial and do a 1to1 SSD copy before switching ssd's so you don't have to do recovery or loose anything on the original SSD.
@smackstar4 ай бұрын
Thanks legend. Got it. I have been reading the ssd temperature's are crazy for majority of the 2280 ssd. Has anybody had any luck managing the temps better? I wish someone makes a custom backplate that rises out a bit more and allows for better heat dissipation.

1. What type of Flash drive is that? (Name & where to buy it?) 2. What are the steps needed to make that Flash drive a recovery drive for the Legion Go? Is it possible to make a video guide for it?

Hey dude. Did you clone your original ssd to the 4tb ssd before installing or did you do a fresh setup with a recovery usb? Could you please shed some light on how you got the 4tb ssd going with windows and all the correct legion go specific drivers etc. Thanks for the great video 😊

the 512 SSD was wrapped in foil, would it make sense to have a copper heatsink or thermal pad and foil on the new one? would they fit? ...more cutting...

Hello, I got the modified board to add a 2080 on the Legion . Does this Nvme work for the Legion? SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Also, which heat sink or heating pad do you recommend ?
@sonnylam819015 күн бұрын
Isn't that make that card very hot cuz there no heat sink in that?

mate, avoid the microfibre cloth. Ideally use a silicone antistatic. Microfibre can zap your components.

It's just plastic and can be easily cut using flush cutters or, the better choice, nail clippers.

Hey mate, i just did this with a Kingston 4tb 2280 ssd, but im having a huge issue when unplugged and running it on battery, the disk activity is spiking like hell from 0-40-72-100% disk usage and games are unplayable cause it stutters every second... do you know what might cause this?, Its so weird cause as soon as i plug it into the AC adapter it vanishes and is smooth as hell.. Would be lovely with some feedback on this please!.
@MGTMaxGamesTech3 ай бұрын
Strange… My first idea, I would recommend this: Check the power plan in windows battery settings. It seems that you don’t run on performance without cable. Maybe you made the settings for unplugged to run on a lower profile. Windows will switch them automatically. Probably this is the problem. Check those settings. Otherwise, if this is not the problem, I would recommend to try with another 2280 ssd to see if you get the same behavior.

You're apparently on the power threshold with the ssd being used.
