After installing hdd, replacing dvd is necessary. Change DVD drive to solid state drive. Connecting the HDD drive

(early 2011) in domestic minds.

Outside the crisis, and dreams about the purchase of a new Macbook rozsіyuyutsya like dim. This is the hour of the day, if a kilogram of great ogirkіv koshtuє, like a kilogram of Israeli apples, the very hour to reach the twist and turn your true aluminum comrade with your own hands.

There are no twists, no hands, otherwise you don’t get merciful, be kind to turn to professional modding and repair. Perevіrenі maistri linger at the company modmac, with unwavering hands, ruthlessly sort out any gadget, take it easy and take it back without missing details that you have lost.

On a winter Saturday morning, I am aware of a little cloud in the sky - it's time! Zrobivshi backup, mi with mine Macbook Pro, violated in maisternu for rejuvenation surgery. The plans are to replace the original HDD cable with a new one, as well as replace the optical drive with a super-switched one SSD accumulator, vicorist special tray Optibay.

Few people know, but if you put an SSD in storage to replace a native HDD, and install a regular HDD in another hard disk to replace a CD-drive, then for such a layout, the system is more practical. Rather, embed an SSD drive on the optical drive space, and leave the other HDD on its own space. Productivity will be great.

When I got to the field, my laptop immediately changed to the master, and I got a different role of an impartial extra, like fixing the skin of the hands of a specialist on camera.

Preparation

Later, the MacBook Pro was laid out on the table, turned upside down, showing our eyes its defenseless cherevtsy. 10 screws were twisted with sprites of cross twisting, around the perimeter rear cover. And then, without reporting any particular zusil, the lid was removed and neatly put down.

For the hell of a time, I marveled at the ergonomic styling of all the components in the middle of the brainchild of Steve Jobs. Yet all the same, all the filling is bewitchingly fitted one to one!

The first stage has been successfully completed, we are moving on to the next stage.

HDD cable replacement

My MacBook has a hard drive that's easy to pull off. For some models, for example, to get the HDD out, you need to turn off the battery, but it's not our type. Otzhe, scho need to work, for the points:

1) Vіd'єdnati loop, scho vіd vіd batteries on the board;

2) twist two screws and pull the bar;

3) gently pull the special tongue on the hard disk and with your fingers (plectrum, special plastic spatula) to pull out the train hard drive.

The sillage of a hard disk is too loud, it is strongly slick, tearing and twisting yoga is not recommended.

Why do you need to change the cable to a new one: sometimes (rarely, but still) after replacing the great HDD with an SSD, the MacBook starts to behave wonderfully. Download Disk Utility new SSD, format yoga and not know the daily pardons; The operating system is downloading, but all the settings are replayed on the screen with a blinking folder icon or a power sign.

In this case, it helps to replace the hard disc. The operation is more of a jeweler and it helps to make the same damage and that is the beginning of the similar ones. Axis how to replace the HDD cable:

1) It is necessary to carefully insert the connector to the cable from the board, twist two screws to fix the cable near the case and two screws to fix the black bar on the front inner wall of the case.

Gently twist the black bar with your fingers, until the HDD cable is glued and shudder with the miniature size of the connector, which needs to be pulled carefully.

The axis at which stage it is necessary to pick up all the cores of the fist and use tweezers to open the connector to the HDD cable. Layatisya for the mother is not possible, dihati bazhano through one time.

After this unsafe procedure, you can see that it relaxes, the HDD cable will be removed again.

Since then, at this stage, we have taken an ordinary hard disk and have seen another train. For the installation of a new train, all the steps must be repeated in the reverse order. The newest part is the connection of a small connector to the socket of the new HDD cable.

Replacing an optical drive with an SSD

Carefully see through the cable, which is connected to Airport/Bluetooth and the cable of the camera to pay. Qi cables (like and more others) are more likely to be used and lamps.

Let's carefully remove the cable around the perimeter of the CD drive and let the antenna connector out.

It was easier to get rid of it: twist three screws, which will reduce the optical drive, carefully twist the yogo, and then open the connector to the cable. That's it, the log has been broken, now you need to insert the SSD accumulator into the empty one.

SSD and Optibay

Everything is simple here. Take the Optibay tray, insert a brand new SSD accumulator into the new one, twist two fixing screws on the side, insert a short cable into the tray to the CD drive, which is a kind of winding on the front crochet, and insert the whole structure that came out, insert it on the bottom. At the visnovka, repeat all the manipulations described above in order to improve the drive in the reverse order.

Nasamkinets smut, do not forget to plug back the battery cable, which is a kind of connection to the very cob of the stat-instruction.

Gentlemen, take note

After “pumping” MacBook Maistri z modmac you can make such a thing, like Fusion Drive.

Fusion Drive combines 128 GB of flash memory into a single logical volume. Mac OS X automatically lets you do this, so that files that are often called, such as programs, documents, photos (and so on), are dynamically moved from flash memory for faster access to them. For example, if the program is checked out often, it will automatically be moved to an SSD storage device for faster access to it. As a result, the launch time will be short, and in the world, the data accumulated in the system about the profile of the computer will soon start the program and access to files.
- Wikipedia

A way of cunning manipulations with terminal commands modmac can you upgrade your macbook so that the bachitime system one sleeping disk, amnesty in 768 gigs (the total capacity of the SSD is HDD storage ), no one SSD accumulating.

Productivity grows, beware of nerves, the master is happy. I highly recommend. A single warning - it is necessary in the process of operating a laptop to have a unique emergency, Fusion Drive can "sip", and you may have to recall all the information again ( That's why you need to remember about backup!).

If you are the owner of a laptop and you are not called by the state security of your work, but especially by the security of your interest and you are more and more concerned about upgrading or if you are asking about replacing a laptop, then do not hurry. We propose an upgrade option for a practically any size laptop for adequate pennies.

On the right, the fact that the processor is not fresh is not great operational memory And the video card was introduced, not by the worst faults of the "galm" of the system. The main reason is a povіlny hard disk. We suggest replacing yoga with a modern analogue - SSD. But you singly and yourself thought about such a purchase, but for a full-fledged costing of a PC, you need a lot free space on the extension for storing information - no less than 500-750 gigabytes. And the prices on SSDs are biting.

And when buying an SSD for 60-120 gigabytes, you can’t download only for the system and add-ons, but you can’t talk about any media content and movies. Also, it is necessary to shukati іnshiy vyhіd, vyhіd if you can be the speed of the system zbіshiti and not spend it in the capacity of the disk, well, not too much to waste. We miraculously understand you and suggest such a way.

How about a DVD drive?

No, seriously, what's your fault? Be it movies or music, you can get it on the Internet, which is practical on the skin, information, until you don’t need permanent access, you can save it either in the dark, such contagions radiated indefinitely, or on an international hard disk, the price of medical ". I would not trust important information to optical discs - the stench is easy to wipe out and become unacceptable.

Also, since you don't really need a DVD drive on your laptop, we suggest that you replace it with an SSD. And again, don’t fawn - you won’t get anything lamati, that and “maistruvati” tezh - we’ll obitsiaemo Garni view your beech is safe and sound.

What do we need?

First, we need an SSD that rose for yoga connection. In principle, we will have enough disk for 60 gigabytes for the system, but still it’s better to buy for 128 - in such a case you won’t worry about the shortage of space and you can always put the volume program on the SSD, otherwise you will be able to start the operation. vidennia gri (adzhe same for tsogo mi i kupuёmo SSD). Until then, the prices for such a gadget are low, and the purchase of such a detail does not hit the bullshit.

Crim SSD, we need a landing place for a new one, more precisely an adapter to replace the DVD drive. At various overseas auctions and in online stores, it is called HDD-Caddy (in our country, it is usually referred to as an HDD 2.5 connection adapter for a laptop drive). Buy this accessory only for your laptop model.

Vlasne, tse and everything that we need to bring. From the tools we need a twist and nothing more.

What better place to put?

Here virishuvati is less for you. Before the attachment, installed instead of a DVD drive, you will have uninterrupted access, so you can put a media device there more quickly - a hard disk (films, music, photos are stored on it). In such a situation, you will always be able to quickly get the HDD and, for the help of a special connection (intestine), connect it to a DVD to watch movies, or connect it to another PC like a flash drive.

From the other side, the heat supply at the drive is higher, that vibration will be greater here, before that, it’s important to say about the protection from the mechanical parts of the city. And the SSD is richer less than a hard disk, it is afraid of vibrations, high temperatures, etc. Tobto ekspluatatsionnykh authorities - you will be better here, lower hard drive.

Be it a fluke - swear to you, depending on the fact that you are planning to use these outbuildings, and depending on the configuration of the laptop model.

Let's get started

In principle, the procedure to finish is trivial. A DVD-drive needs to be pulled in the back - for richer models of laptops it is not necessary to mount the case - the stench is fixed on one bolt, after twisting it, they simply pull out of the laptop.

If you have a DVD drive in your hands, you will need to remove a new overlay, on which there is a button to open the video and rearrange it to purchase HDD-Caddy. Now let's reverse the procedure - install the adapter on the DVD drive. Don't forget to secure it with a bolt. Well, the axis and that's it - just install an SSD here (or a hard disk, and an SSD - on the hard disk).

Installed or transferred operating system

Dali need to install operating system on the SSD, moving the system partition of the HDD forward and bringing it to the partition, on which media information is saved. The installation of the operating system does not interfere in any way with the process you know.

Hello, for some reason you want to save your old system, then before splitting up the HDD, you need to "clone" it on the SSD. Be afraid of some kind of program for robots with hard disks in an exciting mode. For example, try Acronis Partition Director or Mini Tool Partition Wizard - it's up to you to choose.

Deputy Visnovkiv

After you change your mind, your operating system has become more and more strange that spritnoy. Until then, since you didn’t have a space on your hard disk earlier, now you have a lot of space, before you take up the operating system.

If there is one thing that will help you with such an upgrade - if you now need to twist the adapters for the DVD drive, then you can calmly buy a special “gut” for the DVD drive and plug it in to any PC via USB interface.

With leathery rock coristuvachi all the more likely to go to the optical drives. USB-storage services and services of gloomy data collection for the sake of transparency and mobility have practically become CD/DVD discs. There were a few koristuvachіv dissatisfied with the fact that the disk drive in their laptop takes up space, so it would be possible to add a hundred bucks. Fortunately, there is a way that allows you to grow. In fact, instead of a non-essential drive, you can install an additional SSD drive, which you can transfer the operating system to, and save all your files in the original HDD. Such a child is both practical and handy. In this article, it is reported how to install a DVD replacement on a laptop. Let's get smart. Let's go!

Installing SSD and HDD on a laptop is not as difficult as it seems

In online stores the best stores, De sold accessories for computers, you can attach a special adapter Slim DVD, which allows you to install a hard disk instead of an optical drive. Practice in this way. At the adapter-adapter, the HDD of your computer is inserted, then the drive is installed at once from the adapter, the drive replacement is installed, and on the spot, earlier it was installed hard drive computer is installed SSD. Wait, it sounds easy to finish. In fact, everything is not so complicated.

Let's get started. Mostly necessary, obviously, with the addition of a Slim DVD adapter adapter. Adapters, such as drives, are of two types: 12.7 mm and 9.5 mm. Depending on what kind of drive you have, buy an optical drive adapter, otherwise, the railway simply does not fit into the space of the optical drive. If you already bought yoga, you can proceed to installation.

Nasampered next to win required components. It doesn't matter, even if you don't happen to pick up a laptop completely, but rather you will pull out some of the other components. As soon as you indicate that your computer is under warranty, then through similar modifications, the warranty will be lost. Irrespective of those that the whole procedure is not very foldable, it is necessary to put it before it due to the seriousness and reliability. To that, if you are not inspired by the powers that be, it is better to entrust the robot to the maestro.

If you don’t know the battery on your laptop, then turn it on in the motherboard, in order to avoid possible problems and malfunctions. Knowing all the bottom is not necessary. It's enough to spin a couple of screws, to get the HDD. The same story with an optical drive. On the Internet, you can easily find out the skin model of a laptop (the shards of all stinks are breathable). Wonder how to remove the drive and hard disk from a specific laptop model. After that, since you have taken the appropriate covers, you will have to remove the HDD. To do this, it is necessary to pull on a special tongue made of silicone. Shards of HDD fastenings on special skids, you need to remove them by turning the screw.

Now it is necessary to install the accumulator at the adapter. As a rule, everything is necessary for installation - in the middle of the box with an adapter, and itself: twist, screw, plug, rosette and instructions. To pay attention, you need to take special fasteners from the drive, roztashovani from the sides, and screw them to the adapter. Install the HDD at the adapter and insert it at the SATA-pins. Let's mount the rosette. The hard drive itself needs to be secured with a screw from the other side of the Slim DVD. For which you need a thin twist, which is included in the kit. Let's remove the fastening from the other side of the optical drive and attach it to the adapter. Put a stub. Mustache. Now you can insert the accumulator on the drive space.

With the help of this adapter, it is possible to replace a long-outdated DVD drive on an HDD with a SATA interface.

In this rank, we saw a laptop from two accumulators.

First of all, you need to get acquainted with the technical characteristics of your laptop so that you understand what kind of components you need in order to start the installation SSD drive. I’ll tell you that the model of your laptop looks like the model, as I see in my post, don’t get confused. Almost everything modern models Notebooks, if you can make a CD drive, you can install an additional HDD.

Before that, we need to reconsider, as we may need everything.

1. New HDD SSD. Your new SSD is due to Mother Form Factor 2.5.

2. A set of tools for sorting out a laptop (a small twist of the cross). Heads of all screws, as if you will twist the same size.

3. Plastic mediator for playing laptop case or bank card.

4. Kishenka for replacing the CD / DVD-drive of a laptop on 2.5” HDD/SSD. Let's make a report here. The thickness of the adapter can be 9.5 mm. so what is the name of the inserted DVD - drive in the laptop model to become 9.5 mm. And for a successful installation of the adapter, such a company is needed, otherwise you simply cannot install the adapter. For this laptop model, I added an adapter Espada SS95 Alu SATA 3 (SATA CD/DVD 9.5mm to SATA 3). You can come. The cost of such an adapter today is 300-370 UAH.

Zovnіshnіy looking transitioner.

The kit with the adapter has a screw (on one time), a screw for fixing the HDD, a plastic cover so that it is installed on the adapter, to close the opening, which is fixed after the DVD drive is installed and the adapter is installed. Tsya krishka is not needed for us, but about everything in order.

Now naytsіkavіshe:). For the cob, we need to open a laptop.

Let's take our laptop for yoga. We check that our laptop is successfully turned on, we turn it over and we remove the battery.

After viymannya battery, we need to viynyati zhorstky disc. For which we need to turn the lid on the protractile side of the battery.

On the screenshot, with the arrows, I indicated where it is necessary to turn the gwent.

After that, as you rolled the guinti, you need to take the cap. To take the cover you need to pull the troch її on yourself and lift it (

remember that the laptop is in front of you as shown in the screenshot).

Under the cover you pump the hard disk and memory modules. We need a hard drive. We are to blame for the hard drive, so we can install an SSD drive on the same spot. You ask why yourself here, and not replace the DVD drive. Let me explain. If the bus is fast, before the connections are hard (SATA 3 for hard, SATA 2 for optical), then the SSD is installed on the floor.

On the screenshot, I have shown the hard disk space. It is necessary to turn the screw and push the hard disk to the left, after which you can turn the disk.

Get respect, what a gvinti can different rozmіr And you need to remember, the stars were turned on.

If you turn all the screws on the right, a mediator enters. It is necessary to seal the upper part of the laptop from the bottom.

Give special respect that all the guinea piggybacks can otherwise damage the corps.

It is necessary to seal the upper part of the laptop from the bottom.

Be extremely careful when opening the hull, the shards in these models are too harsh on the hull and the stench can be felt.

Insert the front edge of the mediator into the gap between the lower and upper parts of the laptop and turn it properly to release the clasps in the middle of the case. It is necessary to repair from the front part of the laptop there, de-stashing the light indicators. In this rank, you need to walk as a mediator along the entire perimeter of the building.

If the top cover will be reinforced in the lower part, do not lift it sharply uphill, the fragments of the upper and lower parts of the laptop are covered with loops. You can see it on the screenshot.

Also, the raja marvels at the video, having recorded the goodness of a person with a nickname danythe007 This video shows how to choose a laptop model.

I want to tell you that I did not see the cable to remove the top cover, so I could take a DVD drive without removing the upper part of the laptop (it spared my hour).

Let's turn to our sheep. Now we need to spin the DVD drive. In order not to remove the train, I coristuvavsya with a short twist to turn the screw, which leads to the laptop.

The screenshot shows where the screw is located, which needs to be screwed in order to pull the DVD drive.

After that, as we were brought by the wind, it is necessary for us to take care of our adapter. It is necessary to install our old hard disk at the adapter. Vіymaєmo old disk іz kripilnoї frame and vstanovlyuєmo near the frame zamіst old disk our SSD and vіdkladаєmo ubіk. We turn to a new troch year.

Vynyatiy disk іz krіpilnoї frames

There is a small instruction on the adapter, which tells you how to fix the disk. After installing the disc, we need to remove the plastic cover from our DVD drive.

In order to remove the cover from the drive, it is necessary to use water. For whom we need a head and a violin. On the front panel of the drive, there is a small opening at which opening it is necessary to insert a head and push the carriage to the drive, which can be pulled out of the body. Now you can access to the lower part of the drive, so that you can seal the plug in the carriage to the drive.

Space for fixing the plugs to the DVD-drive carriage.

Removed cover from DVD drive

If the plug is in the drive, you need to install it on our adapter. They gave us the need to remove the shackle from our drive, so that we could take our drive to the laptop case and move it in the same place to our adapter.

After that, you need to install the adapter on the plate of the damaged DVD drive. І fasten the screw, a kind of magic ghost.

Turn the laptop over with the bottom side and install our SSD on the old hard drive and screw it on. We close the lid, as if the bula was taken on the cob of the laptop and screw it around the entire perimeter of the laptop and insert the battery.

Usі laptop zіbrany. We took two installed hard disks, one installation into the adapter and a new SSD installed in the space of the old disk.

So just after that, as you have chosen your laptop, it is necessary to enter the BIOS. There you will play two female discs. Need to set mode AHCI in Enhanced who hasn't had anything else posted yet. This parameter allows us to use a new disk as an upgraded SATA device.

Now you are asking how to be with the installed operating system? How to transfer without wasting the operating system?

So, as I knew that I would later install an SSD drive, I created the back of the system partition with a rozmіrom 95GB. After installing the hard disk, I transferred the system partition and all subsequent recordings to a new SSD disk for help Acronis Universal Restore. If you want, I will describe how I wanted to write in the comments and I will write a new post with a more detailed description of the transfer of the OS to new disc.

Is it necessary to install a hard drive instead of a laptop drive? More and more often, as the main attachment for saving data, hard-boiled accumulators are built. Installing an SSD in a laptop will make it easier for the system to work. However, such attachments, as a rule, may be modestly obligated - save hundreds of gigabytes of films, and more. important information stay nowhere.

With a desktop computer, everything is simply possible to put in any number of additional storage devices. The laptop has no free space. However, as a whole, you can tidy up the drive, which becomes everything, and insert the SSD or HDD () into the laptop instead of the DVD drive. You can’t directly connect the hard drive - in laptops, disk drives and cumulatively have different connectors. To help come adapters from DVD to HDD-SATA (you can know adapters to HDD-IDE, but stink is better for old laptops).

Now let's figure out how to put another hard drive on a laptop for an additional adapter?

There is no difference, which type of disk is installed in the optical drive of a laptop - i HDD instead of DVD, i SSD - can be connected however. It is safe to say that such modifications are not transmitted by computer makers - there are no official adapters, only Chinese models (for example, Optibay). Vtіm, through the arc of a simple attachment of the adapter, turbulence is not to be brought about. Ale, I take all the responsibility for the possible malfunctions of the coristuvach on myself to spend the guarantee on the laptop.

Before that, how to connect an additional SSD to a laptop or install an HDD in a laptop’s DVD drive, it is necessary to ensure security: plug in the battery, and also ground it - bump, for example, batteries, so that you can take the static voltage out of your hands, as you can destroy the components maternity pay computer.

Adapter selection

A lot of builders are engaged in the preparation of sanchat to HDD for laptops. There is no exact difference between them - it is better to choose a different HDD adapter for the size. A laptop can have one of two types of drives installed:

• 12.7 mm curls - in older models;
• 9.5 mm - for modern ultra-thin computers.

It's not scary, as a thin adapter works for a laptop with a high speed - the installation will go without problems. And better yet, choose a suitable adapter, so that replacing a CD drive with an SSD in a laptop does not cause difficulties. In addition, you can buy a sled with special shackles that stink for the outer part of the computer case, and it will be easier to carry out attachments for consumption.

Connecting the HDD drive

The creation of a laptop with two hard disks is possible in any case, the visibility will be less in the way the computer case is understood. Models of different varieties may have their own peculiarities, but the general order is as follows:

1. The battery comes out. Although not known, the battery connector is included in the motherboard.
2. Screws are screwed on the bottom surface of the case to trim the drive.
3. DVD-drive is removed.
4. There is a cover that closes the main details of the laptop. Yakshcho for hoarding vіdsіk transferred okremy vіdsіk, yak on Sony computers it is not necessary to sort out the case again.
5. HDD is removed from the attachment.

How to install another hard drive on a laptop without replacing the old HDD, it is not necessary to turn it on.

On the vіdmіnu vіd desktop computer, wires and plugs do not need to be turned on by hand. The stench is zhorstko fixed and they themselves wimming at the wiymann outbuildings, it’s not the fault of the everyday problems.

Connecting a hard disk to an adapter

1. On the old HDD space is installed hard drive and the winchester is connected to the adapter;
2. In obedva vіdsіki put SSD-storage;
3. For help, the sledge will be replaced by an SSD, otherwise, be it another hard drive, the old accumulator will be left in its place.

In case of any need, it is necessary to install the operating system on a larger storage device - either the SSD will replace the DVD, or the disk will be installed on the main drive. It is connected with the reason that the SATA cable, intended for the DVD drive, is 4 times larger than the cable that is used for storage motherboard. Because of the HDD installed instead of the drive, the system is more comfortable and, in general, the laptop is more practical. Svidkodiya SSD cheaply compensates for the retail price.

Replacing a DVD on a hard disk is done in the following way:

1. The disc is pulled out from the other sledges, up to some screwing screws with 4 screws;
2. Winchester is invested in the Optibay adapter, it is connected to the connectors. From the protilezhny side, a plastic rosette is inserted, which is in the kit with an adapter;
3. From the lower side of the sled, screws are twisted, which will trim the accumulated on the floor;
4. From the right disk drive, they are fastened and screwed to the adapter;
5. On the external side a plug is placed on the adapter;
6. Attachment is inserted into the laptop drive;
7. If you don’t have enough, insert the SSD into the sled from the old hard disk, spin the screw and install the attachment in your place. Dali the computer case is collected from the reverse order

Problems with assigning another disk to a laptop

In some BIOS settings, do not boot another hard drive. Tse is not a problem. It is connected with the peculiarities of the BIOS itself. The system has been taken over in the normal mode. When replacing a disk drive, an SSD is installed and you want to install it on a new system, the program will normally assign the disk.

It is clear that the OS does not boot another disk, the reason may be the lack of formatting. How to go to system utility"Disk Management", a new hard drive will appear. It is necessary to format yoga in files NTFS systems and vin z'appear at the conductor.

In this way, replacing a DVD drive with an SSD can make it easier to replace a hard drive, or install another hard drive on a laptop. Golovne - choose the right adapter and do not use screws when picking up and folding the computer. Below, you can watch the video on installing hard drive replacement DVD drive in laptop and macbook.

It's not a secret for anyone that these days there are a lot of laptops with a lot of regular DVD drives, but the popularity of optical discs with skin rock is changing, and compact and USB storage devices are coming to this place. And in order to avoid taking up space in the system, you can replace it with an adapter for connecting an SSD or a 2.5-inch HDD.

Instructions for installing an SSD drive instead of a DVD drive in a laptop

Before that, how to choose a laptop itself, you need to buy an HDD-DRIVE Caddy SATA-SATA adapter, which is necessary for the operation, which is probably the most important DVD drive in a laptop and may have a special niche with SATA roses for connecting an additional internal accumulator. You can get a device for low prices at trade maidanchiks, like Aliexpress, or in similar online stores.

Also, you need a 2.5-inch form factor HDD to install in a suitable HDD.

After that, as everything is necessary, you can proceed:

Turn on the laptop, close the screen, turn it upside down and remove the battery;

For additional help, remove the plastic cover to allow access to the disk drive (a principle that is similar to that for all models and types of laptops).

Unscrew all the hard drives of the drive, after which you carefully pull it out of the case. It’s easy to fight through the yogic landing opening;

For finalization. For some models of laptops, DVD drives are fixed with one screw, ripped under the keyboard. With such a design, it is not necessary to remove the lower part of the body for dismantling. Suffice it to fix a few clasps, lift the keyboard, twist the screw and turn the DVD-drive tray directly.

Then we will need to install a new SSD or HDD disk from the adapter purchased and place the chosen design on the disk drive space. Do not forget to bring a train of life and screw back all the screws that you fix;

Take the back of the laptop from the back end, install the battery and try to turn off the system.

For finalization. Insertion disk you can tell me not right away. Possibly, it will be necessary to format the disks through the disk manager. For this, go to the maintenance panel, select the item “System and security”, then click on “Administration”, then “Computer maintenance”. The system will designate a new disk connection and by right-clicking on the mouse, you can format it as you need it without any problems file system, and also set your name, as it should be in Windows Explorer.

On this, everything, I suppose, the article was corny and was able to explain to you how to correctly connect an SSD / HDD disk to a DVD drive in a laptop.

Yakshcho Vzhe has long ceased to be a DVD-drive in his laptop, it's an hour to replace yoga with a brand new SSD. You did not know what is possible? Today, we report on those, how to work and what will be necessary for someone.

So, having called all the "for" and "against" my dіishli visnovka, that the drive for optical disks - tse already zayviy pristіy and kindly replace the new one to install an SSD. For whom we need the storage device itself and a special adapter (or adapter), which, after the expansion, will replace the DVD drive. In this way, it will not only be easier for us to connect the disk, but the laptop case itself will look more aesthetically pleasing.

Preparation stage

The first step is to add a similar adapter, to turn on the respect for the expansion of the disk drive. The primary drive can be 12.7 mm high, as well as ultra-thin drives, which can be 9.5 mm in height.

Now, if we have a valid adapter and SSD, we can proceed to the installation.

Removable DVD drive

It is necessary to remove the battery before us. In quiet situations, if the battery is not known, you may need to remove the cover of the laptop and remove the battery connector from the motherboard.

For more options, in order to get a floppy drive, you don't need to pick up a laptop outside. Suffice it to twist the spear of screws and the optical drive is easy to pull out. If you are not familiar with your abilities, then it’s better to look for video instructions without any middle ground for your model, or turn to fahivtsya.

Installable SSD

On tsomu, all our accumulators are ready before installation.

Now you have to insert the adapter from the SSD into the laptop, tighten the bolts and plug in the battery. Turn on the laptop, format a new disk, and then you can transfer the operating system from the magnetic storage device to the new one, and save the rest of the data.
