Use this guide to replace or upgrade a full or faulty solid-state drive or SSD in your Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05 laptop.
The solid-state drive (SSD) is a crucial component of your laptop, responsible for storing and retrieving data quickly and efficiently. A faulty SSD can lead to a range of issues such as slow performance, system crashes, or even complete failure to boot. If you're experiencing problems like frequent freezes, slow load times, or error messages such as "disk not detected" or "boot device not found," it may be time to replace your SSD.
Before proceeding with this guide, ensure you've reviewed the troubleshooting page, as some issues might be caused by software problems such as corrupted files or malware, which can often be resolved without replacing the SSD.
If you're running out of storage or want to upgrade to a faster SSD, this guide will help you replace your existing SSD with a new one. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05 supports M.2 NVMe and SATA SSDs. Be sure to back up your data before starting the replacement process to avoid any data loss. Always power off your laptop completely and disconnect it from any external power source before beginning the procedure.
