SanDisk Ultra Plus Instruction Manual

SanDisk®Solid State Drive

Quick-Start Installation Guide

Upgrading your existing hard disk drive (HDD) to a new SanDisk Solid State Drive (SSD) is easy!

This guide provides quick instructions on how to upgrade your SATA-based desktop or notebook computer

HDD to a SanDisk SSD. We also cover cloning your data from your current HDD to your new SanDisk SSD

using cloning software.

Replacing your HDD with a solid state drive consists of three easy steps:

1. Connect your SanDisk SSD to your computer

2. Clone the data from your existing HDD to your new SanDisk SSD

3. Uninstall your HDD and replace it with your new SanDisk SSD
