Introdução

The hard drive (or HDD/SDD) functions as the laptop's primary storage device. Hard drives have a limited 'life span'. If the data on your laptop has become corrupted or if your laptop has problems reading data, then your hard drive is either damaged or dying and will need to be replaced. The goal of this guide is to show how to replace a dead or dying hard drive (or upgrade to a better one). The hard drive is only connected to the computer by a few screws, and is relatively easy to remove and replace. For this guide, a spudger and a Phillips #0 screwdriver will be needed. The steps required for this guide will only take a few minutes to complete.
