Introduction
The following procedure will guide the reader through replacing the solid state drive (SSD) in the Alienware Alpha R2 desktop computer. The storage drive of a computer is where a computer’s operating system is stored, along with all of the data on the computer. Whenever a computer is booted, the operating system is loaded from the storage drive.
You might be wondering, “why replace a solid state drive”? If your computer is constantly freezing or if there is a long interval of a blank screen when turning on your computer, it is probably due to a faulty storage drive. Fortunately, a replacement solid state drive can return your computer back to its former glory, making your computer boot and function much faster, and saving you a lot time and frustration.
Replacing a faulty drive with a functional solid state drive will increase the speed of your computer, as it will be able to both load the OS faster, resulting in a quicker boot time, and also access files faster, resulting in a snappier response time overall.
