On the Lenovo US site, this laptop is configurable with three storage options:
1. Normal SSD
2. 16GB M2 SSD (pre-installed)
3. (optional) 3rd M2 SSD in place of the smart card reader.
Here is where I have some questions:
1. I am not sure if these parts are field replaceable (like the mSATA slot on my T530) or do I have to configure it online.
2. What kind of SSD fits in these slots? M2 is just the name of an interface which can support many sizes of cards.
3. I don't think RAID is possible, but just confirming.
