Introduction

Some laptops allow for a combination of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and an SSD or either one for their memory storage. SSDs have a reputation for being more powerful and smaller than HDDs, and they do not use any moving parts to access data like an HDD would.

Before beginning, make sure the laptop is off and the laptop is disconnected from any power source.

              Back Panel
