Lenovo T470 - Can I replace my PCIe NVme with a SATA SSD?
I have a Lenovo T470 with a 256GB PCI Nvme and I'd like to get "downgrade" to a 1TB SATA SSD.
I don't need the speed of the PCI NVme drive nor the much higher price for the upgrade.
Is it possible to put a 1TB SATA SSD in my T470 given that configuration? Can it replace the PCI NVme or is there space to make it an additional drive?
Attached are 2 photos of the inside of my machine
Thank you.

Apparently I have a M.2 SSD/PCIe NVMe, and 2 PCIe ports, which the forums all seem to think are backwards compatible. Of course most people want to upgrade to the faster drive, but price wise it doesn't make sense

I believe what I have will connect to a regula M.2 drive, not SATA.
Does that make sense?
