    • Slide the hard drive cage out slightly to access and remove the power and SATA cable.

    • There isn't much slack in these cables, so don't slide the hard drive cage to far.

    • The power and SATA cables are connected together. On most other computers, these connectors are separate.

    • Lift the hard drive cage out.

    • Lift the hard drive cage off the hard drive.

    Excellent guide, was a super easy swap. I put an SSD in it!!

    Hey Just one question, is the HDD SATA 2 or SATA 3? Just wanted to know so I can purchase an SDD with the correct specification.
