How to install Micron 3400 2 TB SSD
Installing the Micron 3400 is straightforward for most modern systems that support M.2 NVMe drives. Follow these steps to upgrade your computer with this high-performance SSD:
- Power off your computer and unplug it from the power source. If you’re using a laptop, ensure it is cool and you’re working on a stable surface.
- Open the chassis or access panel to reach the motherboard. Consult your system’s manual if you’re unsure where the M.2 slot is located.
- Identify an available M.2 slot that supports PCIe NVMe (not SATA). If necessary, remove any existing standoff or mounting screw that secures the slot area.
- Insert the Micron 3400 into the M.2 slot at about a 30-degree angle. Align the notch with the slot and press gently until the module lies flat against the motherboard.
- Secure the drive with the mounting screw in the motherboard standoff. Make sure the drive sits flush and the screw is tightened securely but not overtightened.
- Reconnect power and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify that the drive is recognized as an NVMe device. If you’re installing the OS on the Micron 3400, configure it as the primary boot drive.
- Initialize and format the new SSD in your operating system if prompted. You can clone an existing drive or perform a fresh install as needed. Set up your preferred partitions, and install essential drivers for optimum performance.
- Optionally enable features such as TRIM and ensure the device is aligned for best performance. For sustained performance, keep firmware up to date and monitor temperatures during heavy workloads.
