I have an Old Lenovo ThinkPad laptop.

I am looking to use a Samsun 850 Evo 2.5" SSD in the system to run Linux and practice my programming skills. I see an opportunity for great career growth, and I need a system I can practice on.

After removing the back panel, it appears there are two M2 SSD slots and one 2.5" SSD/HDD slot.

The M2 slots look like there are connections available. While the 2.5" slot is blocked off where I’d expect the connection to be availible. How can I connect the 2.5" SSD to the laptop?

Additional information: The left most slot is the original OS boot slot. The fixture in the slot appears to be a heat sink. The 2 unsued slots have a spot for a ribbon cable, maybe?

    Thank you for your help. I found the cable. I didn’t think of a tray but will be sure to order one.

    Thank you
