IdeaPad 330 is a family name, not one storage layout. Lenovo PSREF lists both 2.5-inch SATA and M.2 storage configurations across the range, so check the machine type and the bay inside your laptop before ordering. Every drive below is a 7 mm, 2.5-inch SATA model: it is suitable only for a 330 with that bay and its SATA cable/caddy. This is deliberately not an NVMe list or a claim that every IdeaPad 330 accepts M.2 storage.

Buying tips

• Read the MTM/model code and its Lenovo manual before purchase; another IdeaPad 330 submodel is not proof of fit.
• A 2.5-inch SATA replacement should be 7 mm tall and needs the existing SATA data/power connection and mounting hardware.
• Back up first. Choose cloning or a clean installation only after confirming the physical drive format.
