This is a guide to replace the SSD in a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio. You may need to replace the SSD if your computer is slower opening or using files. A bad SSD may also cause files to disappear. This is a very simple guide that only requires a few tools. It should only take 15-20 minutes.

Slide the SSD directly out of its socket.
If the SSD is a 2280 length, then you will need to also remove the carrier bracket (two T3 screws) and use a 1mm plastic washer for it to fit correctly. Leaving the carrier in place will work, but it will cause the screw mount for the original SSD to push against the back of the new SSD and slightly warp the SSD. If the SSD has a thicker PCB, you may not need the 1mm washer.

Is this strip tape or it metal? Is there replacements for it? I habe been trying to find it but I can only find tape as an alternative to this part.
I tried the SSD upgrade with two different WD products (1TB black and 1TB blue) and with both I had problems: Random blue screens and after some time, computed could not find the SSD anymore. Looks like it has something to do with drive consuming too much power but I am not sure. I am now back on original 256 GB SSD, since I can't find what is causing compatibility issues.
Try this, it will help.
Can you fit a full sized ssd or only the short ones?

It appears to be thin plastic with an aluminum coating on the outside. It's easy to remove by poking into the corner by the hinge with a set of tweezers-- the tweezers will pass right through.

Ok and how do you reattach it when you're done? I mean is it glued on or how does that work?
