Toshiba CB35-C3300 Chromebook 2 SSD Replacement

はじめに

With this guide, you will be able to safely remove your faulty SSD and replace it with a new SSD.

The SSD or solid state drive is responsible for containing your Chromebook’s Operating System as well as providing storage for applications on your Chromebook.

Solid state drives are heavily dependent on power supply capacitors and are free of moving parts. Therefore, they are vulnerable to malfunctions caused by power surges or logical errors. Some errors could be your machine not booting up, applications freezing, or the SSD running excessively slow. Your SSD has been proven to have a lifespan on 4 years before it will begin experiencing issues.

It is important to note that if your Chromebook is running out of storage, you may need to upgrade your current SSD. Your Chromebook supports SSDs of up to 32GB.

Make sure you back up important files on your Chromebook using an external drive or USB Drive.
