How to Install the Verbatim 2.5" SSD
Introduction
This overview is intended as a general outline of the key steps involved in installing an SSD into a laptop or
desktop computer, and is not intended to provide specific details pertaining to your particular PC hardware and
Operating System (OS) configuration. If, after reading this outline you determine that you are not completely
confident to carry out the necessary steps to perform the installation and obtain needed items which are not
included, it is highly recommended you obtain professional assistance for the installation of your SSD by a
qualified service technician.
Note for those users replacing an existing drive: If you
intend to replace an existing drive on your computer with this
SSD by way of cloning or data migration, you will also need to
procure data cloning/migration software. There are many types of
data cloning/migration software available online at little or no cost
to you. A USB-to-SATA cable or adapter is needed if you plan on
cloning the current drive onto your new SSD. Both the software
and the USB-to-SATA cable are not included in the packaging.
Verbatim suggests backing up your system before
performing any hardware/software modifications.
For The Safety of You and Your SSD:
• To reduce the risk of damage to sensitive electronics by electrostatic
discharge, touch an unpainted metal surface (such as your
computer case) with your fingers before touching the SSD and your
computer.
• Ensure your working environment is clean, dry, and static-safe.
• Keep the SSD away from water or other sources of moisture.

on the end of the SSD
