Lattitude 3500 HDD Question

Question

Hi all

Can anyone assist please.

Im thinking about a Lat 3500 can anyone let me know if it has support for an M2 nVME stick.

Will it also support a second internal capacity disk..?

lastly if i just use an internal SSD without the nVME option, what transfer speed does the internal slot provide \ support..?

thanks in advance

Table 1. Storage specifications

Type	Form factor	Interface	Capacity
Hard Disk Drive	SATA	SATA Gen 3 (5400 RPM)	Up to 1 TB
SATA Solid-State Drive (Class 20)	M.2 SSD 2280	SATA Gen 3	Up tp 1 TB
PCIe NVMe Solid-State Drive (Class 35)	M.2 SSD 2280	PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe, up to 32 Gbps	Up to 1 TB
PCIe NVMe Solid-State Drive (Class 35)	M.2 SSD 2230	PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe, up to 32 Gbps	Up to 1 TB
PCIe NVMe Solid-State Drive (Class 40)	M.2 SSD 2280	PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe, up to 32 Gbps	Up to 1 TB

The service manual shows space for a 2.5" drive and a separate M.2 drive.

What is the max throughput on the 2.5 SSD.

I know it will support the 6Gb/s SATA interface but how much of that will actually be used.?

Anyone know what the HDD interface speed is on the laptop.?

Am i correct in saying it only supports up to SATA 3 Meaning it will only utilise a maximum of 3Gb per second ...? So basically not SATA 6

'SATA 3' is 6G/s.  If you're asking about a hard drive (as opposed to a solid state drive), the limiting factor isn't the interface.  It's the drive.  No single spinning hard drive can come anywhere near sustaining 3G/s (in fact it's well under 1G/s sustained).   The drive simply can't read data from a spinning platter that fast. If you're asking about an SSD the story is different, but I'd expect the interface to sustain whatever the drive can deliver.
