💡 WHY IT’S WORTH IT
• Boot in seconds instead of minutes
• Faster game & app loads
• Cooler, quieter, more reliable than HDDs
---
🔍 PICK THE RIGHT DRIVE
• NVMe M.2 — Fastest (PCIe Gen3/4/5)
• M.2 SATA — Slower, but works in SATA-only slots
• 2.5" SATA — Perfect for older systems
💡 Tip: Check your manual for NVMe vs SATA support before buying
---
🛠 WHAT YOU NEED
• SSD + correct screw
• Small screwdriver
• Backup of your files
• Thermal pad/heatsink (for high-performance NVMe)
---
📋 INSTALL STEPS
1) Power off & unplug (disconnect battery in laptops)
2) For NVMe: insert at 30°, secure with screw
3) For 2.5": mount in bay, connect SATA data & power cables
4) Boot to BIOS → confirm detection
---
⚡ AFTER INSTALL
• Clone your old drive (Macrium Reflect, manufacturer’s tool)
• Or do a clean install for the best performance
• Initialize & format new drives in Disk Management
---
📌 PRO TIP
Even a SATA SSD will feel night-and-day faster than a hard drive — but if your system supports NVMe, go for it!
