Use this guide to replace the SSD within your Dell Inspiron 15 5584 laptop.

The SSD, like the hard drive, is a piece of hardware that contains data within the device. A faulty SSD may cause slower operation or process crashing as well as errors.

Before operating on the SSD, ensure that the issue is not related to another component or software. If you are sure the issue is your SSD, make sure to save your files to an external storage device before any tampering in order to save data that could be lost otherwise. Be sure to drain the battery and shut down the device as removing the battery is necessary to remove the hard drive. A live battery serves as a fire hazard and can cause personal injury or component damage.
