1 How It's Performed

For a repair job on this component, we first check the drive's own health data (SMART attributes, reallocated sector count) to confirm whether it's actually failing versus just full, then clone your existing drive sector-by-sector onto the new one wherever possible so your OS, apps, and files carry over without a fresh install.

Typical time: 30–60 minutes (longer if cloning existing data)

2 What This Requires

• A drive matched to your model's physical form factor and interface (SATA, NVMe, specific M.2 key type) — not every SSD fits every laptop's M.2 slot.
• A full backup of your existing data before the swap begins, as a safety net independent of the cloning process itself.
• A SMART health check on the new drive after fitting, to catch a defective unit before it's your daily driver.

3 When You Need This

• The system is noticeably slow to boot or open files, especially on an older HDD-based laptop — this is usually the single biggest real-world speed upgrade available.
• Clicking, grinding, or repetitive noises from a mechanical hard drive — this is often an early failure warning, not normal operation.
• Frequent "disk read error" or file-corruption messages.
