Find a product


Step 1: Gather supplies

You’ll need your Crucial SSD, a screwdriver, your computer’s owner’s manual (which will specify the type of screwdriver you need), and a SATA-to-USB cable (sold separately). If you have a Mac® system, see our Helpful Tip below for additional instructions.

Step 2: Set the spacer aside

In the box with your SSD is a spacer (it looks like a black bracket). Set it aside for now – it won’t come into play until later in the process, and based on your system, you may not even need it.

Step 3: Back up important files

Before starting the install process, save any important files on your computer to a USB flash drive or external storage drive.

Step 4: Go slowly and deliberately

The information you need is all here. Your system will likely look different than the ones shown, but the process is the same. Read each step thoroughly and consult our Helpful Tips for more info.
