Embedded storage can\u2019t be removed or swapped out like a standard drive. If you\u2019re unsure what you have and need to send it in for professional data recovery service, we recommend sending the entire laptop, checking your device\u2019s manual, or asking a service provider before disassembling it. Attempting to remove embedded storage yourself can cause permanent damage to the device and the data.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><style>.vcex-image.vcex_69d0b050454c7 .vcex-image-img{border-radius:var(--wpex-rounded-lg);}<\/style><figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module wpex-text-center vcex_69d0b050454c7\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Embedded-Storage.png\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Embedded-Storage.png 1000w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Embedded-Storage-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Embedded-Storage-768x507.png 768w, https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Embedded-Storage-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_section vc_custom_1753286687385 wpex-vc-full-width-section wpex-vc-full-width-section--centered wpex-relative wpex-vc_section-has-fill wpex-vc-reset-negative-margin\"><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid wpex-relative no-bottom-margins\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69d0b05046499{color:#3e3d3e;font-size:45px;font-weight:400;}@media (max-width:1024px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69d0b05046499{font-size:30px;}}@media (max-width:959px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69d0b05046499{font-size:30px;}}@media (max-width:767px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69d0b05046499{font-size:30px;}}@media (max-width:479px){.vcex-heading.vcex_69d0b05046499{font-size:30px;}}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h2 wpex-text-left vcex_69d0b05046499\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\"><strong><span style=\"color: #e31f26\">How to Remove a Hard Drive<\/span><\/strong> in 6 Easy Steps<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div style=\"color:#6f737e;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Once you\u2019re sure you have a removable HDD or SSD, you\u2019re ready to get started.

Traditional HDDs are rectangular and usually sit in a metal drive cage. A 2.5-inch SSD looks similar but is thinner. Some SSDs, especially M.2 NVMe drives, resemble small sticks and are attached directly to the motherboard with a tiny screw.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4 wpex-vc_col-has-fill\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner vc_custom_1746035582544\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div style=\"color:#6f737e;margin-bottom:20px;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e31f26;\">Step 5: <\/span>Carefully Disconnect Cables and Fasteners<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you have a standard HDD or SATA SSD, gently unplug the power and data cables, then unscrew any mounting brackets or slides. With some hard drives, such as the M.2 SSD, you will need to remove the small screw that holds it in place.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div style=\"color:#6f737e;margin-bottom:20px;\" class=\"wpb_text_column has-custom-color wpex-child-inherit-color wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #e31f26;\">Step 6: <\/span>Remove and Store the Drive Safely<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Once everything is disconnected, slide or lift the drive out of its slot.
