Introduction
The SSD is the primary storage device for the operating system and personal files on the Dell Latitude 3189. Use this guide to replace the SSD if you have issues such as a faulty SSD, or if you simply need more space.
Exercise caution when removing and reinstalling the SSD, the port is fragile and the contact pins may be damaged if you use too much force when removing or reinserting. The SSD should not need to be tugged and should gently come out without resistance.
