Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased a Yoga 13 (Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 Convertible Ultrabook™) which I now suspect has a corrupt 'hard drive'. I put hard drive into inverted commas because this particular computer actually features the new M.2 SSD which doesn't look much like a traditional drive.
The M.2 drive originally installed into the computer is a Hynix brand (P/N: HFS256G38MNB-2200A) which runs at 3.3 Volts and 1 Amp. Whilst looking for a replacement M.2 drive, preferrably from a different manufacturer (such as Intel, or Samsung) I noticed a variation in the voltage, and / or amperage of SSD models.
Will my computer run ok with an M.2 drive which is 3.3 Volts and not exactly 1 Amp? For example would it be ok to insert a Crucial MX200 (3.3V, 1.7A)? Furthermore could it accept 5V varients such as the Intel 535 Series?
My computer hasn't worked correctly out of the box, and it has taken several weeks of running BurnIn Test to determine the source of the faultly hardware. I now want to do my utmost to avoid Hynix!
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David
