Lenovo Thinkpad T450 SSD Replacement

Inleiding

The solid-state drive (or SSD) is a storage device used to store data. SSDs are much faster than the traditional hard-disc drives (HDD) due to their physical nature. Unlike the standard HDD, an SSD does not have a physical spinning disc in the component. Current estimates show that SSDs may reach a lifespan of 10 years, but the average lifespan of a SSD is shorter.

If your Lenovo ThinkPad T450 laptop is not properly loading files or is slow to load, it may be time to replace the SSD. Follow these instructions to replace the SSD in your device.
