    Lab – Research Laptop Drives

    In this lab, you will use the internet or a local store to gather information about storage and optical drives for a
    laptop.
    (The answers below are specific to the Lenovo P51s)
    1. Research the manufacturer specifications for the storage drive in the laptop. List the specifications in the table
    below:

    Drive Specifications Drive

    Form Factor 2.5’’

    Type SSD

    Size (GB) 512GB

    Port Type SATA

    Drive Speed 8 GB/s

    2. Shop around, and in the table below list the features and costs of two storage replacement storage drives for
    a laptop.

    Drive Specifications Replacement Drive #1 Replacement Drive #2

    Form Factor 2.5” 2.5”

    Type SSD SSD

    Size (GB) 2 TB 500 GB

    Manufacturer Crucial Crucial

    Port Type SATA SATA

    Retail Cost $289.99 $70

    3. In your research, did you find any reason to select a particular drive over another?
    From my research, I decide to select the Drive #2 over another drive because it is more affordable and the
    size of the drive is 500GB which is a great fit for my day to day tasks as a university student.
    4. Is the new storage drive compatible with other components in the laptop? Why is this important?
    Yes. If the drive does not have the same form factor, port, or power specifications then it will not function with
    the other components in the laptop.
    5. The laptop may or may not have an internal optical drive. Do a search for an internal and external optical
    drive. How do they compare in price and drive speed?
    An internal optical drive is about $20 – $30 and an external USB optical drive is priced comparable to the
    internal optical.
