I bought a Lenovo Y520T 25ICZ about a year ago. A couple of days ago I saw that I only had 48GB of available storage left. Therefore, I decided it was time to get a new harddrive. Like the novice I am, I didn’t dare do anything without Googling a lot first. And from what I learned, my motherboard only has two sata ports, who are both in use, I think. Please correct me if am wrong on this. The motherboard is a Y520T MB FRU Z370 WIN DPK. From what I understand, the existing drives in the computer is a 3.5 and a m2. So from what I currently think I know, I have to upgrade the motherboard to add a new harddrive. According to lenovos support center thing. There are no motherboard substitutes for this computer. So from whit I understand, I need to buy a new drive, new case and a new motherboard to get more memory?
if this is the case, does anyone have any suggestions for a good case and motherboard on budget?
The existing specs that I don’t want to replace unless I must is;
- I7 8700
- 16gb ddr4 I think
- Gtx 1060.
Everything else can be replaced if needs be.
