caddy/adapter for T400S, T410S, T410SI, X300 and X301.

Hi,
A lot of people are very happy with their Lenovo , but not so much anymore with their 1.8 inch SSD performance, which is quite poor for modern day usage.
After several iterations I have developed a low-cost premium solution that would make it easy to upgrade your SSD to modern read/write standards (like mSATA Samsung 860EVO): a custom microSATA caddy/adapter for mSATA disks that would be suitable for Lenovo, HP and Dell laptops.
It is available to customers in Europe at the moment, but if you need it outside Europe, kindly contact me via eBay.
This caddy/adapter works perfectly with the following laptops: Lenovo T400S, T410S, T410SI, X300 and X301.
It will also work fine with HP 2530P, 2540P, 2730P, 2740P , DELL Latitude XT2 and DELL Latitude XT2 XFR.
Please check the ebay annonces under my userid: https://www.ebay.fr/usr/jacques_06
Regards, jacques_06

This is how it looks like for a X301:

Hi,
As per the inquiries:
For 2023 shipping from France with track and trace to worldwide will cost 6,45 EUR (around 7 USD).
You might have to pay some local taxes depending on your location.
A dedicated eBay annonce will be created for you in case you would need multiple items.
If you have any further questions please let me know via eBay.

Are you able to print and sell units without going through eBay?

I refuse to use them after a major fiasco a few years back, but would be interested in having a couple like this for my X301/as a spare and to support the community.

Hi,
I personally prefer selling internationally via eBay only as payment methods and some taxes are taken care of by eBay.
There are many X301 laptops in Europe with my adapter inside and all are working fine.
If you would need multiple items kindly contact me via eBay messaging.

Thanks for the reply. It's unfortunate to hear that, I hope your ebay experiences are better than mine were...

Hi,
As per the recurring questions:

If you need more than one item please find some examples of the shipping costs below:
I only ship with track and trace to avoid any lost in transit issues with the shipping.

BTW If you buy more than 1 caddy/adapter, the price per caddy/adapter is 6 EUR.
There are always more than 100 available for immediate shipping within 24 hours.
The weight of caddy/adapter plus protective box with cover is around 51 g.
The caddy/adapter itself weighs around 18 g.


Indications of shipping costs as per July 2023 with track and trace:

--------------------------------------------
Inside EU to specific countries with Mondial Relay (pickup point OR your home address):
- Mondial Relay up to 16 items to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain and Portugal at pickup point: < 7,20 EUR

You can not order more than 1 caddy/adapter at the time via eBay. If you require more than one caddy/adapter a dedicated listing with the exact shipping costs to your destination will be created for you. Please contact me via eBay if you need multiple items or if you have any questions.

NB. Every caddy/adapter passes a QC test with a Samsung 860 EVO 1TB mSATA SSD before shipping.
