Introduction

The SSD is a piece of hardware that stores and retrieves data in your computer. A failing SSD can cause your laptop to produce crashes or error messages like “file not found” or “file could not be moved.” In some cases, the computer may not boot at all which will require a new SSD to be installed.

This laptop comes with a limited size NVMe M.2 SSD with up to 500 GB. If you are running low on storage, you may want to use this guide to upgrade to a higher storage capacity.

This guide will not cover transferring of data from the old SSD to the new one or the installation of an operating system. Before starting the guide, make sure the computer is turned off and you are statically discharged.

Step 6

• Slide the SSD out of its socket by pulling it to the left while slightly lifted.
• To get a better grip, pinch the corners of the SSD with your pointer finger and thumb.
• Take note of the orientation of the prongs as the SSD comes out. The new SSD will need to go into the socket with the same orientation.

Hey Wesley, I couldn’t find any documentation, videos, or photos of the thermal pad placement on the Razer Book anywhere. Could you please take off the vapor chamber and take a photo of the pad placement for me? It would help me tons.
