Introduction

If you’re noticing prolonged boot times, energy consumption issues such as poor battery life, or loud fan noise, a failing mass storage device may be your issue. It is important to note that the mass storage device is something that the vast majority of the other components in the laptop rely on, so addressing issues here can prevent a lot of headaches later with other pieces of hardware being over-worked.

This replacement or upgrade does not require any special skills such as soldering.
