Hi there,
I currently have one Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB M.2 PCIe in my 2016 Thinkpad P50 with the m2000 graphics and 40GB DDR4.
I am looking at additional storage and have not had time to read the p50 manual yet.
Would you guys buy another Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500GB or would you go for a different option.
How much of the available bandwidth of the PCIe lanes would the second drive be able to use?
Perhaps I would be better off with a standard SSD as my additional storage?
Thanks for any input.
Take a look at our

Re: 2 times NVMe drives in 2016 P50
Suggest you use the new 1 TB or 2 TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD as your main drive.
Suggest you leave your old 500 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD to be used as a backup data SSD (or for putting movie/songs), since your P50 has more than enough SSD slots!
