Charles, have you checked the spec's on your Lenovo? I have a y470 and it supports a special version of SSD's which is the mSATA which I suspect yours does. Your 570 and my 470 are almosst identical, and share the same manual. Other than that I don't know much about it other than its the best notebook by far I have ever had.

CORRECTION: you have a 560 - sorry for the error but still could be the same issue.

This might help:

What I also found is (unless they changed something) just replacing the regular HD with a normal SDD in this model still uses the older SATA spec, whereass the mSATA is unique to this model and special.
