Posted September 26, 2015 I bought a Lenovo Yoga 300 recently and had a spare SSD laying around and want to put it in the laptop as there is not enough storage space by default on the laptop. As you can see by the photos there is a connection on the mobo for a sata cable, however a normal sata cable will not go into this slot. So, people of LTT. I ask of you, what do I need to put in the motherbord sata port to be able to connect my ssd to it? Is there a specific sata cable I should be using? an adapter?

You might be able to find something on ebay. Look for Lenovo Yoga 300 HDD cable. LTT's unofficial Windows activation expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2015 I have done, no one sells one they're all just variations of the one that Litagirio posted Give Lenovo a call. You might be able to get them to send (sell) you the cable or direct you to where you can get one. i7 4790K || R9 290X + R9 290 || 16GB G.Skill TridentX 1866 || Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 || Crucial MX100 256GB || WD Caviar Blue 1TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2015 Author Update: so I found the cable that Lenovo produce, "HDD Cable B Flex3-1120" However, no one sells it. so, if you guys could help me find it or something that will work instead. I'd really appreciate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
