    I want to use 1TB and I also have Lenovo L460 so will you please put the link of minimum 1TB SSD which is compatible with Laptop... I tried to search for but I don't have knowledge about configuration things and compatibility changes check...
    You can suggest of any brand....

      I have used max 256 GB drive, although it should support 1 TB drive but I would recommend testing the drive capacity support before buying the drive.

      No that's WWAN slot, meant for 4G LTE module. You can see wifi module is installed on another slot located on its left.
      We are not loosing any capabilities.
