Product: X7T50UA#ABA laptop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I think the hard drive on my X7T50UA#ABA laptop is going bad. When the air temp (60 degree range) is cool the hard drive makes a quite loud noise when I first turn it on. The noise goes away after a few minutes. The pitch of the noise goes up and down at times, the cooler it is the worse and longer the noise. I would like to upgrade the hard drive to a internal SSD. Is this possible and what SSD would I use? Thanks

Hello, in effect you can install an SSD in SATA 2.5 inch on your PC at the place of your original hard drive. 

 

For access to your drive you need to remove your battery (page 48) and your optical drive (page 49), open your PC pages 52/53, and you have access to your disk page 60:
