Einleitung
Use this guide to replace the hard drive in your Lenovo ThinkPad T460 laptop.
A hard drive (also known as a hard disk drive, HDD, or hard disk) is a storage component in a computer. Hard drives use spinning disks and moveable parts, as opposed to the flash memory used in an SSD. Signs of a failing hard drive may include clicking or grinding noises, disappearing data, computer crashes, and an inability for your computer to recognize the hard drive.
If you are able to recover any data saved to your hard drive, be sure to back up your files before beginning this guide. Also, make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.
