It totally depends if a standard SSD is used (like 2.5&quot; with a SATA connection, can use most newer computers to test it, just open the case, connect to a free SATA port), or if it's the PCIe mini SSD type (needs special adapter, you have to buy one probably)

It's not standard 2.5' ssd, it's M.2 input.

Hi Experts,<br />
I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon, Gen2, running Win7 Pro. This morning I went to turn it on, and the keyboard and power light come on and flash for a second or two, nothing comes up on display, and it turns off making a soft &quot;pop&quot; sound after about 30 seconds. I'm thinking it must be power supply issue, but haven't been able to diagnose yet. The laptop has built in SSD, so I'm not sure if there's anyway to get my data off. I have cloud backup of most my stuff, but it's frustrating that this ssd doesn't appear to have any adaptor to hook up externally, in cases of hardware failure, like mine. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to remove ssd and get data before sending back to Lenovo? Any assistance with this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Lenovo X1 Carbon won't turn on

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
