Introduction

This laptop comes standard with a 1TB hard disk drive (HDD), but the user may want to take this opportunity to upgrade to a solid state drive (SSD). Although SSDs are somewhat pricier, they are faster, quieter, and less likely to fail than HDDs because they don’t rely on moving parts to store data.

Before starting this guide, it is important to ensure the device is unplugged and powered off in order to avoid doing serious damage to the electronics.

I have bent the pins on my ZIF socket for my Aspire Laptop. Do you have the product name and number or know where I could buy a replacement part?
