Upgrading the Data Storage Drive (HDD or SSD)
The Sahara Slate PC’s HDD or SSD is the storage facility that holds
all the files on your computer. If you find you are running out of
space, you might consider upgrading to a larger drive.
Typically, when a computer’s Hard Disk Drive (HDD) fills up, its
access time begins to increase and your system seems to slow
down. When this occurs, upgrading to a larger drive often will
equate to better performance.
While generally more expensive, Solid State Drives (SSD) use
non-volatile NAND Flash RAM to store data and are much faster
than even the speediest HDD. Additionally, SSDs do not contain
any moving parts and therefore are more durable and consume
less battery power. If you need to increase your system’s perfor-
mance, upgrading to an SSD is a worthwhile investment.
Align the module at an angle with the
SODIMM slot and insert it. If the SODIMM
module will not go in, try flipping it over
so the alignment groove matches the tab
in the slot. Once inserted, press down on the module
gently with your finger until it clicks into
place. Do not force it, if the module will not
press downward you probably do not have
it completely seated in the slot.
