First, let’s take a look at the true face of solid-state drives.

Prepare a hard drive box for the optical drive, and insert the solid-state drive into the optical drive hard drive box interface.

Remove the notebook's optical drive.

After removing the screws of the optical drive, use a screwdriver to push down the fixed metal piece, and the optical drive will come out easily. Nowadays, notebooks basically do not have optical drives, but still Many people are still using laptops with optical drives. I believe many people know that if a solid-state drive is to be installed in a laptop with an optical drive, the optical drive must be removed. When it comes to disassembly, many people are afraid to do it themselves. In fact, the optical drive Replacing the solid state is very simple, if you don’t believe me, take a look at the operation below.
If you want to remove the optical drive and replace it with a solid-state drive in your notebook, you must purchase an important accessory called an optical drive hard drive bracket. Only through the bracket can you successfully change the optical drive to a 2.5-inch hard drive. But when purchasing a hard disk tray for an optical drive, you need to pay attention to whether the bracket can fit into your optical drive and what the optical drive interface is.
There are three thicknesses of notebook optical drives, 8.9mm/9.0mm/12.7mm, and the interfaces are SATA/IDE/SILM. Most notebooks have SATA interfaces. Therefore, you must pay attention when purchasing the bracket, especially the thickness of the bracket. The optical drive hard disk bracket has two thicknesses, 9.5mm and 12.7mm. If the thickness of the optical drive is between 8.9mm and 9.5mm, then choose 9.5mm thickness. hard drive bay.
The BIOS of some notebooks may have the problem of being unable to set the optical drive to boot from the hard drive. If you don’t like to use the startup option to select the hard drive every time you turn on the computer, you can install the original mechanical disk in the optical drive. bit, while the solid-state drive is installed in the mechanical hard drive location.
Removing the optical drive is very simple. There are fixing screws on the back of the notebook, and there may also be on the side. After removing these screws, we can directly pull out the optical drive. It is very simple. The disassembly methods of different notebooks are similar. If not Clear, yes
