Has anyone tried this yet ?
I'm considering the lenovo a485 and was wondering if this might work with ecc.
thanks

If you want to find out asap (I'm also curious) you can use a live-cd (live-USB actually) of a distro using a modern kernel (Antergos or Manjaro maybe?). Even just looking at the dmesg from the terminal should tell if the EDAC driver sees the ECC error reporting subsystem or not.I'll have to install an OS to test if ecc works, but I have a problem as there is no M.2 2280 support
i'll report back once I get the caddy/cable to install the ssd.
Thanks for checking and reporting back. I was strongly suspecting it would not work.edac module refuses to load "ECC disabled in the BIOS or no ECC capability, module will not load."
I guess that solves this question, figures lenovo would skimp on this.

The laptop plastic case actually tore in half while trying to open it to install new memory, the build quality is fragile and overrly complicated.
Atleast the memory works as regular non ecc ...
I can always get a xeon laptop or some kinda server/nuc thing that can use it.
A Dell agent told me and i read elsewhere that only ryzen pro cpus support ECC RAM. And it looks like here tooAll ryzen cpu's support ECC in hardware, it's just a matter of the motherboard having the traces for it and bios to enable it.
The only way to know is if you contact the manufacturer and they confirm ecc udimm support. I'm not aware of any laptops or small/NUC type ryzen systems that have confirmed ecc support.This is unfortunate, but of course I havn't looked into it further.
