Protect data
NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) M.2 solid-state drive features the Lenovo-unique PLP (Power Loss Protection) function to avoid data loss or damage.
If your computer is not responding and you might have to shut down your computer by pressing and holding the power button for several seconds. In this case, the PLP function enables your computer data to be saved timely. However, there is no guarantee that all data is saved in any situation.
To check the type of your M.2 solid-state drive:
USB-C Restricted Mode is a security feature that allows you to disable data transfer through USB-C connectors while the charge function of the USB-C connectors is kept. It helps prevent data from being copied from the computer to USB storage devices connected to the computer. By enabling this feature, you can use public USB charging stations, such as those found in cafes and hotel lobbies, without worrying about data leakage from the USB-C connector.
Notes:
- Before using this feature, ensure that the remaining battery power is not less than 5%. Otherwise, this feature can not be enabled.
- This feature can be enabled or disabled by key combinations only when the computer is turned on.
To enable or disable this feature, press Fn+U, and then press Fn+S.
After this feature is enabled, the LED indicator blinks briefly when a USB device is connected.
