Dell Latitude 5490 Benchmarking SATA SSD PCIe SSD & Spinning Disk

In this video we demonstrate the how different hard drives result in massively different performance on a Dell Latitude 5490.

This is the followup video to our Dell Latitude 5490 Unboxing Review & Basic Disassembly To Change Hard Drives, Battery or Add Memory

Outstanding review of the Dell Latitude 5490. reviewed on Dec 10, 2024, Just purchased rec'd set on Non 4, 2024, ironically it was never
used, so, it was brand new, this video showed what I need to know about SSDs, I removed a M.2 126 SSD, replaced with standard 500GB SSD (Sata). Speed is not my concern, storage is the object. Thanks for this video, in Dec. 2024!

I can confirm that a 1000GB nvme works in the 2242 WWAN slot of Dell Latitude 5490. I bought a Netac N930ES (NT01N930ES-001T-E2X) and using it with a 256GB 2248 mSATA in the primary slot. 👌

Finally! Someone who tried it out and pointed out the rubbish written in Dell's manual :-)
Is the 2242 slot PCIe/NVMe only? Or does it accept M.2 SATA disks as well? I ask because SATA are about 30% cheaper than their NVMe counterparts. So for someone who doesn't care about blazing fast speed, and is just looking for more memory at a reasonable price point, SATA is a better buy.

Hello! Thank you for the demo. Have you tried using both M.2 PCIe SSDs at the same time? Would it be possible?

[johnx]

Best disk combo for Dell 5490 is nvme disk+m2 sata 2242

[mrkomeng]

So the WWAN slot can be used as caching ssd?

[VertuV]

Well I try it do it the same on Wwan on 5495 but it's don't work Idk what's wrong?
Whole night I try it find it solution. Bios on dell lattitude 5495 it's nightmare. Any suggestion?

[queseyo]

hi, there is something I dont get, and that is, why you didnt get any read and write speed over a 1Gb/S with neither pcie nvme ssd? I get that that the m2 socket where you put the wd black ssd is on the sata bus what why the toshiba ssd which is also pcie nvme didn´t pass the 1gb/s on read and write secuence? its driving me nuts to not get it

[maxwellopare]

Please sir I’m using dell latitude 5490
Can I place m.2 ssd drive as an external drive! in (wwan place?)

[jasonluong]

How did you screw down the longer SSD? My 5490 has a cylindrical well made of orange plastic that has no groove to anchor down a screw.

[murillorosa]

Can i use a SSD and another SSD in the WWAN port?

[ManojKumar-orbu]

can i have 256 + 512 gb ssd? in dell 5490

[zmtdrt]

Is CPU upgradable? And what's about display? Good enough for photo-video editing (like a non-pro). And viewing angles?
Summary: this one dell or HP elitebook 840 g5?

I can confirm the wwan slot in a 5400 does not work with ssd. I tried a 2230 w/adapter and 2242. WTF Dell. Btw I never saw anyone work on their PC with it powered on lol
