I'm wondering if a 4 TB drive will work in my Lenovo T14s laptop. I seem to recall that the Intel SoC Chipset for that machine was limited to 2 TB. Is that a built-in limitation, or simply the max NMVe drive size that was available for testing when the spec was developed?
My Lenovo laptop has an Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU. Because Lenovo charges so much for things like a larger NMVe drive and extra RAM, I got a "build your own PC" model so I could get the RAM I wanted but the lowest cost NVMe drive, 256 GB, which is a joke for a good laptop. When I ordered this machine, Lenovo offered only a max 1 TB drive, but I read somewhere that the Intel chipset would support 2 TB. To keep the cost down I ordered the machine with the 256 GB drive, but replaced it with a 2 TB drive I got from The Egg. Worked fine and I never looked back.
I tried to find that chipset data sheet the other day, but I could not.
