How to install VisionTek 1 TB SSD

• Power down your computer or laptop, unplug the power cord, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. If upgrading a laptop, remove the battery if accessible and follow the manufacturer’s service instructions.
• Open the chassis or panel to access the drive bay. If upgrading a desktop, install the 2.5" drive into a suitable bay or adapter and secure it with screws or a mounting bracket. For laptops, use the appropriate drive caddy or bracket designed for 2.5" SSDs.
• Connect the drive to the system using a SATA data cable and the appropriate SATA power cable. Ensure secure connections on both ends to prevent intermittent failures or dropouts.
• Power on the system and enter BIOS/UEFI. Initialize the new SSD if needed (partition, format, and assign a drive letter for Windows; or format as appropriate for macOS/Linux).
• Install or migrate your operating system and applications, or configure the drive as a data/storage volume. If cloning from an existing drive, use your preferred cloning software to mirror the old drive to the VisionTek SSD for a seamless transition.
• Once the OS and data are set up, verify system stability, run a quick benchmark to confirm performance, and organize your files for optimal efficiency. Regularly run disk maintenance tasks such as TRIM to sustain long-term performance.
