Quick User Manual

1. SSD (Solid State Drive) Overview

SSD is an innovative information storage medium that boasts superior performance 
and higher reliability than conventional HDDs (Hard Disk Drive). SSDs provide very fast 
PC booting, application loading speed, and perform exceptionally well in multi-tasking 
environments. SSDs also have several great features such as very low power consumption, 
extremely low heat emission, no-noise, and outstanding stability compared to conventional 
HDDs. Please visit www.samsung.com/SSD for more information on SSDs.

2. Precautions

Handling Precautions

Injury or product damage may occur if the following guidelines are not followed.

1.  Shock

SSDs are built stronger against shock or vibration and can protect data with greater 
safety than conventional HDDs. However, please protect the product against severe 
shock. Excessive Shock may damage components in SSD and may also cause hardware 
detection failures or operational failures when installed in your PC. In addition, severe 
shock may open or break the SSD cover.

2.  Short Circuit

Please keep metal objects out of the SATA Interface circuit. SSD circuits may be shorted 
if the SATA interface is contacted by metal objects or electrical shock. This may cause 
hardware detection failures or operational failures.

3.  Disassemble/Damage/Removal

Please do not disassemble the SSD, damage the SSD or remove the sticker or the label 
affixed on the product. Any product that has the case opened, or has a damaged or 
removed label on the back of the product shall not be covered by the warranty.
