No swappable disc drive for Z400 . You can check with skycrawler in garage sales, whether any suitable slim caddy bay (not swappable) for Z400. You need to remove your ODD and use it as external drive.

You need to check with Z400 user or reseller whether HDD bay or ODD bay is sata3 port before you get the SSD. Generally, HDD bay is sata3 port and ODD bay is sata2 port. But pls check it out.

Z400 don't have extra msata slot for msata SSD.
Y400 has msata slot.

haha i am ok on it

Any news on when y400/y500 coming in for the new stock? i've PM'ed many resellers but most no reply...

Y500/FHD/i7/GT750m SLI @$1159.20 launched in Lenovo US.
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/control...ref-id=products

stay tune.

hey, care to explain the part in bold?

What is HDD bay or ODD bay? does it matter?

lol, just brought mine and new model came out..

so who want to buy my Y500?

HDD bay is hardisk slot and ODD bay is optical disk drive slot.
Generally, HDD slot come with sata3 port which will speed up the SSD. ODD slot come with sata2 port which will slow down the SSD like HDD speed.
You need to make sure Z400 come with sata3 port to enjoy the speed of SSD.

not just sata3 port but an extra sata3 port because i want to add SSD into my laptop, not replace my HDD

Is it possible to check from the lenovo website?

If sata3 port is at HDD slot for Z400, you can swap your HDD with SSD. Get a suitable slim caddy bay to place your HDD and swap it with ODD. Use the ODD as external drive. This is similar to how Y580/Y480 users installed their SSD.

If you want to retain your ODD in laptop, then use the HDD as external drive.

Suitable slim caddy bay? is it an extra component or is it in the laptop?

Furthermore, i dont think the ODD is swappable for the HDD. Correct me if i'm wrong

HDD caddy bay:


More info here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2363123

You need to get the same size caddy bay like your slim ODD from the reseller, so that it can fit nicely in the ODD slot.
Its not so easily swappable like Y400/Y500.

If you wish to upgrade the ram, ssd for Z400. Suggest you to get ready the ram, ssd and caddy bay, ask the reseller to do it for you when you buy Z400. It will save the trouble for you and you can learn how they do it.

You need to make sure HDD slot is sata3 before you get the SSD.

wao convert us to my
rm 3525 for sli 750????
how about the battery life and track pad problem

guys,if msata using SATA III,the speed of msata is same with the normal ssd?

Web price: $1,449.00
After eCoupon:
$1,159.20
You save: $289.80
Malaysia price is got plus eCoupon?

not sure just convert any may be malaysia wont so cheap

US is much cheaper than MY . My guess is Y500/GT750m sli around RRP 3.8-3.9k.
Best is to wait for more reviews and user feedback on upcoming Y500/Y400.

Both sata3 msata SSD and normal SSD have the same speed with sata3 port.
msata SSD using msata slot and normal SSD using sata3 slot.
