Lenovo 4XB1S30112 internal solid state drive 1 TB M.2 PCI Express 5.0 NVMe

The Lenovo TS 1TB SSD in M.2 2280 format is a high-performance solid-state drive designed for systems that support PCIe Gen5 NVMe storage. It delivers fast sequential and random read/write throughput typical of next-generation PCIe interfaces, while the compact M.2 2280 module fits into many modern laptops, desktops, and workstations. Built-in OPAL2 compliant encryption adds a layer of data protection for sensitive files and system volumes without requiring additional software.

Advantages

This SSD offers significantly reduced load and boot times compared with SATA drives thanks to PCIe Gen5 NVMe bandwidth and optimized flash management. The M.2 2280 form factor allows for space-efficient installation in compatible motherboards and devices. Hardware-level OPAL2 encryption supports secure storage of credentials and confidential data, and Lenovo's firmware implements wear-leveling and error management to maintain performance and reliability over the drive's service life.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptops, small-form-factor PCs and workstations that accept M.2 2280 NVMe drives
• High-performance gaming systems requiring fast load times and quick asset streaming
• Professional applications such as video editing, CAD, and software development with large file transfers
• Secure storage environments where on-drive hardware encryption (OPAL2) is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: M.2 2280
• Interface: PCIe Gen5 NVMe
• Capacity: 1 TB
• Security: OPAL2 hardware encryption support
• Compatibility: Standard M.2 NVMe slots on PCIe Gen-compatible platforms

How to use

Install the M.2 2280 SSD into a compatible M.2 NVMe slot on your motherboard or device following the manufacturer's installation instructions. Secure the module with the appropriate mounting screw and ensure the system firmware recognizes the drive in UEFI/BIOS. Initialize and format the drive in your operating system, then migrate data or install an operating system as needed. Enable OPAL2 features through the device management or security utilities that support hardware encryption if protective measures are required.

Recommendations

Verify that your system supports PCIe Gen5 NVMe and the M.2 2280 physical size before purchase. Use firmware updates provided by Lenovo and keep backups of important data. For optimal thermal performance, consider an M.2 heatsink or proper airflow within the chassis if your workload generates sustained high throughput.
