x220 still uses a mechanical hard drive even tho i have a 1 tb m.2 but it doesnt accept m.2 drives so either i buy an m.2 to sata adapter or i get a desktop and put it in there instead
@kirby you know they make sata ssds
@why the best buy i went to did not have any. and i wanted a disk in that moment. 60 dollars wasted, i must embrace this drive
@kirby nobody has bought computer parts in a best buy since 2006

I have an old HP ProBook and I'm using Micron SATA SSD in it — m510dc. It's as fast as I expect it to be, really great!
This laptop also has an m.2 slot or NGFF as they called it at the time. But it was supposed to be used for a WWAN card, such as 4G modem. There are SSDs that are known to work with this laptop, but according to the reviews they all run really hot — I probably won't take such a risk.
Using m.2 SSD with old laptop is a gamble.
