how to install 4TB Vi550 SATA III 2.5" Internal SSD
- Power down your computer completely and unplug it from the wall. If you’re working on a laptop, remove the battery if possible and ensure you’re grounded to prevent static damage.
- Open the chassis or access panel to locate the existing drive bay. Remove any screws or brackets securing the current drive, and gently disconnect the SATA data and power cables from the drive.
- Connect the Verbatim Vi550 into the same SATA data and power ports, then seat it in the drive bay. If your system uses a 7mm or 9.5mm bay, use an appropriate mounting bracket or spacer if required for a secure fit.
- Power on the system and enter your operating system. If you’re cloning from an existing drive, run your preferred cloning software to copy the OS, applications, and data to the new 4TB SSD. If you’re performing a clean install, you can format the new drive and install your OS from installation media.
- Once the OS recognizes the new drive, initialize and format it if needed (NTFS for Windows, APFS/HFS+ for macOS, or an appropriate filesystem for Linux). After setup, set your new SSD as the primary boot drive if desired and configure any required TRIM settings to ensure ongoing performance and reliability.
