| The solid-state drive is the part on the laptop that allows you to store and use data. A solid-state drive has the same exact functions as a hard drive. They are both used to store and use data but a solid-state drive allows you to access your storage almost instantly where a hard drive has to mechanically locate the data which takes longer. |

| If you are having to restart your laptop often due to corrupt files, do not just assume that you need to replace your solid-state drive because there are various other factors that could be leading to these corrupted files. If you are worried about the fact that you may experience data loss trying to fix the corrupted files yourself, you should take your solid-state drive to a professional so they can safely retrieve your stored information. If restarting your computer due to corrupted files is the only symptom your computer is experiencing, it is likely due to a separate factor such as shutting down your laptop improperly, not a failed solid-state drive. However, if your laptop is having the symptom of constantly needing restarted paired with the other symptoms listed earlier in the introduction then it is likely that your solid-state drive needs replaced. |
