Identifying installed drives

Your computer includes a hard drive (with a rotating disc) or a solid state-drive (SSD) with solid-state
memory. Because an SSD has no moving parts, it does not generate as much heat as a hard drive.

To view the drives installed on the computer, select Start > Computer.

Handling drives

Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautions
before handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply.
