Use this guide to replace a full or faulty hard drive in your Lenovo ThinkPad x120e.
A hard drive is a non-volatile data storing device, meaning it keeps its data even if there’s no power running through the laptop. The data the hard drive contains includes downloaded software., the operating files, and personal files. If the hard drive is failing, it will usually cause continuous crashes. This might be due to some of your files being corrupted, which can be fixed without replacement.
Be sure to remove all power connectors and turn off your laptop before beginning. Also, back up your data on your hard drive so you do not accidentaly lose it while replacing.
