You can either choose to install a new 2.5\u2033 SATA SSD or upgrade to an M. 2 NVMe as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Which SSD does Acer use?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Acer and Biwin are kicking things off with a 2.5-inch SATA SSD called the SA100 with up to a 1.92TB version available, which has up to a 560MB\/s read speed. Its RE100 comes in a 2.5-inch form factor, or as an M.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is SSD a hard drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Is an SSD a hard drive? Put simply, an SSD isn&#8217;t the same as a hard drive. Hard drives use magnetically sensitive platters which are moved by a motor, whereas an SSD uses flash memory without any moving parts, meaning they are faster.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What is HDD vs SSD?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>An HDD is a traditional storage device that uses mechanical spinning platters and a moving read\/write head to access data. SSDs are newer, faster drives that store data on instantly accessible memory chips.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do you destroy a hard drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>BEFORE YOU BEGIN.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 1: Remove the hard drive from your computer.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 2: Access the hard drive&#8217;s platters and circuit board.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 3: Remove the read\/write arm, and scratch the platters with a screwdriver to destroy data.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 4: Break the circuit board.<\/li>\n<li>STEP 5: Recycle the computer&#8217;s components.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you upgrade an Acer laptop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Upgrading your Acer computer can give it new life and make it very fast without spending lots of money on a brand new computer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does the Acer Aspire 5 have a solid state drive?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It has 8 GB of RAM (2400) on board with an open SoDIMM Slot. I added a 1TB ssd and it was very straightforward following the acer installation video online. The ssd support bracket is included with the laptop.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Is SSD replaceable?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you have just one drive in your laptop or desktop, you could replace an HDD or small SSD with a 1TB SSD for less than $60. If you&#8217;re a computer user with a great deal of data, replacing just the drive that holds your operating system and applications could provide a significant speed boost.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I replace the SSD in my PC?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The simplest way to upgrade from a smaller SSD (or HDD) to a larger one is to pull the old drive, install your new drive, load your OS image and all associated software, and reinstall everything you don&#8217;t opt to manually preserve.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I install a new SSD in my laptop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Shut down your system. Disconnect the power cable and remove the battery.  <\/li>\n<li>Open your laptop&#8217;s case. Refer to your owner&#8217;s manual for how to do this.<\/li>\n<li>Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface.  <\/li>\n<li>Locate the storage bay.  <\/li>\n<li>Plug the SSD into your system.  <\/li>\n<li>Your SSD is now installed in your laptop!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>What does SSD mean on a computer?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>SSDs got their name\u2014solid state\u2014because they use solidstate devices under the hood. In an SSD, all data is stored in integrated circuits. This difference from HDDs has a lot of implications, especially in size and performance.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I replace my Acer laptop SSD?
