What is the maximum limit of SSD we can use in latitude 5480 ?? In WWAN port

​​I have seen in a video ,1TB installed and worked in WWAN..​@@naveenraj282

[@mtdlgs]

Hi! You mentioned the HDD connector near in top left corner around the battery bay on the motherboard. My model is slightly different than yours, but has the connector. Firstly, you need to swap the 68 Wh battery to the smaller 51 Wh - 3 cell one (that's physically shorter) and you have space for a 2,5" ssd or hdd. I know, it is a compromise between disk space or battery life, but it depends for the situation what you need. Cheers! Great video btw!

[@presston]

u need to remove the current SSD if u want to make use of the 2.5" hdd bay. u cant put two drives at that area.

[@justinbryson2906]

@@presston Yeah, my Dell LATITUDE 14 5410 has the 2.5" HDD installed, and I wish I could figure out how to install the M.2 SSD option. I think I will give this M.2 SSD option on the WWAN slot a try. I hope it works.

[@presston]

@@justinbryson2906 Please double check the wwan slot type. B or M. I bought a NVME M for del 5400 only to find out it doesn't fit. The difference is very miniscule. I think i need to try with 2242 SATA ssd, but there doesnt seem alot of choice in the market for those.

[@ramiropodolsky]

Petr, I´ve just did that in my Latitude 3480 last week. The difference is that I shall only use the M.2 SATA 2242 in stead of NVMe. As it´s only SATA I´ve build a software RAID-0 and the speeds where really good. I read that SATA and the WWAN used to share the same PCIe lane of the processor but it didn´t. Great video tough! SATAIII disk: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB (SSD Degradated - Has 49% of remaining life) WRITE: 385.4/MBs READ: 502.6/MBs WWAN: KingDian N400 2242 128GB WRITE: 437.2/MBs READ: 504.5/MBs RAID 0 with partitions of the same size (119.69GB) WRITE: 760.7/MBs READ: 943.9/MBs Another interesting upgrade for whom has older Dell is the screen as you shall upgraded from HD to FHD with a simple swap and costs only 50USD.

I have a 2016 Dell Latitude E5250 with the WWAN slot. So to try this out, I found a cheap £10 TOSHIBA 128GB M.2 2230 PCIe NVMe SSD on eBayt. My WWAN should have the 2242 SSD card. Although too small to screw down. I was able to make the card stable, using some masking tape and sticky pads. The card was recognised, no messing with BIOS. After setting up, It works perfect. Thanks a great Vid, Now looking for a 512gb M.2 2242 SSD :-)

[@md.jubair8893]

bro can u boot from this ?

[@protarget1]

Haven't tried it, I assigned the 2230 SSD an F drive so it wouldn't boot. But I can't see why not. If I'm not mistaken aren't these M2 SSD's used in Tablets as the primary drive??? BTW it does get to around 75c before the SMART technology kicks in and throttle it down

[@protarget1]

My E5250 is the same battery and SSD as in this YT vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6PLoXdqiZeDjtU My SSD is a Kingston mSATA SSD Don't forget there are 2 different M2 SSD. The M2 SATA and M2 MVME PCIe. The WWAN slot is a mini PCIe Slot so I don't think the SATA will work in the WWAN. This why in this vid he states you must use the NVME PCIe type in the WWAN slot. I bought something cheap like this j off UK eBay just to try. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/128GB-PCIe-NVMe-Hynix-Hfm128gdgtng-83a0a-SSD-Dell-P-n-0VGN9P-BC501-M-2-2230/114088821116?hash=item1a9039417c%3Ag%3A19cAAOSwAepeMHT1&LH_ItemCondition=3000

I have the 5290 (12.5") which has the SATA port you mention at 1:18 so I got the cable, used a SATA to mSATA adapter and installed a 1tb mSATA as a second drive next to my 2tb NVMe M.2... the issue is the 5290 screen is just awful. But I can apply your method to the 5300 (13") and have a much better screen, although I will lose out on 4G, I can tether to my phone. I need an ultrabook with 2 drives, 5400 is a bit too big for my needs. Great video! Edit: I also think the 5400 comes with the HDD port and 8th gen Intel, 5401 no HDD port and 9th gen Intel.

[@salaheddine6556]

I have dell 5480 it has hdd port but the space isn't that big for both sata and m2! Even mSata I can't imagine how it can fit ! ( I didn't try cuz I don't have mSata for now)

[@TheOmarTech]

use WWAN port then like the video?

[@zeruty]

5400 comes with low power U CPUs. 5401 uses high power H CPUs I don't think Intel 9th gen had lower power U cpus, they just made newer 8th gen U CPUs. So that's why 5400 would have 8th gen, because that's what was available in U CPUs. But for the laptop itself, 5400 and 5401 are the same generation.

Try to enable WWAN in BIOS. It disabled by default in some configuration

Anyone has succeeded boot from disk installed into wwan slot? I'm installed NVMe disk in WWAN slot (Dell 5420) it is visible in windows and from windows installer (CD) boot from usb. start install windows 10, but after reboot unable to boot get error 0xc000000e and blue screen

[@EvgenyZyuzin]

Solve, add linux grub boot loader to ssd in main slot with option to boot from disk in wwan slot. Booting successfully, but only if use bios one-time boot menu, in other case boot menu loaded, and when select wwan disk - display error disk not found
