| The following procedure will guide the reader through replacing a hard drive with a solid state drive (SSD). The hard drive of a computer is where a computer’s operating system is stored. Whenever a computer is booted, the operating system is loaded from the hard drive. You might be wondering, “why replace a hard drive”? Although effective, hard drives can be slow in functioning. The constant freezing of your computer and the long interval of a blank screen when turning on your computer is probably due to the slow hard drive. Fortunately, that’s where an SSD comes in. When you're computer is on, there is a familiar whirring sound; that’s the sound of the disk spinning in the hard drive. Unlike in a hard drive, there are no moving parts in an SSD. Because it has no moving parts, an SSD functions much better than a hard drive, thus making your computer boot and function much faster, and saving you a lot time and frustration. |
