How to Install EDGE Elements 4 TB SSD

  • Power down your computer and disconnect it from any power source. If you’re installing in a laptop, shut it down completely and remove the battery if possible and safe per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Open the case or access panel to reach the motherboard. Identify an available M.2 slot, typically labeled for PCIe or NVMe support. If your system has multiple slots, refer to the manual to choose the best one for your configuration.
  • Hold the EDGE Elements 4 TB SSD by both edges and align the notch on the connector with the notch in the M.2 slot. Insert the drive at a slight angle (about 30 degrees) until it is seated securely in the slot.
  • Secure the SSD with the mounting screw provided with your motherboard or mounting hardware. Carefully tighten the screw just enough to hold the drive firmly without over-tightening.
  • Power on the system, enter BIOS/UEFI if needed to confirm the drive is detected, then boot into your operating system. Use Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS) to initialize, partition, and format the drive according to your preferred file system (e.g., NTFS, exFAT, APFS).
