Introduction
Hard drives store and retrieve data in your computer. If your hard drive is failing, you may notice your device making strange noises, crashing often, and/or displaying error messages. The Lenovo IdeaPad S210 Touch uses a hard drive that is 7mm thick and 2.5in long.
Be sure to back up your hard drive before replacement so you don’t lose any data. Make sure to completely power off and disconnect the device from any external power sources before starting the process.
What you need
