T440 alternative with optical drive/extra hdd slot? I'm looking to buy a good laptop, and the research led me to thinkpads. The only problem - I was planning to swap an optical drive for an extra hard drive (for SSD + HDD configuration), but T440 lacks an optical drive to begin with.Are there good alternatives that would work with SSD + HDD.

1. Memory 16GB max7/ PC3-MHz DDR3L, non-parity, dual-channel capable, two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets Optical Ultrabay Storage M.2 SSD DVD burner, 9.5mm Ultrabay slim, removable One modular bay for removable devices (right side, cold swap), 9.5mm high, bottom access Some: Solid State Drive (SSD) / SATA 6.0Gb/s, 2.5' wide, 7mm high.
2. Performance, efficiency and durability make the T440p the corporate laptop workhorse that sets the benchmark. With its award winning keyboard, up to a Full HD anti-glare display with IPS technology and ultra long battery life the T440p will be with you every step of the way, wherever your business takes you.

4. The Lenovo ThinkPad T440p can be configured in many different ways through Lenovo's web shop. Is integrated in the M.2 slot, and has a price in the online store of 42 Euros ($60).

Hello,
I have been planning to add a 240GB/256GB SSD to the spare M.2 Slot on my motherboard (2242) - T440P
I have narrowed down my options to some options:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Transcend-TS24 ... ers&sr=1-2
https://www.amazon.co.uk/KingDian-240GB ... ers&sr=1-7

Lenovo Thinkpad T440p M.2 Ssd

https://www.amazon.co.uk/XuBa-Solid-Lap ... rs&sr=1-57
The XuBA Drive and Kingdian drives are £10 cheaper than the transcend, and all m.2 2242's with SATA 3 interface are more expensive than standard SSD's.
I just want to check: A) will all three of these drives work, or will i face dificulties with them working?
and B) is thr transcend that much better than the cheaper ones? They are all low cost brands as far as U know?
