I also watched several YouTube videos to be sure I understood how to do it. When I was finished, my laptop started right up. Great to have plenty of room for my file...

Hardware-based encryption

Integrated Power Loss Immunity
Avoid unintended data loss when the power unexpectedly goes out. This built-in feature of our new NAND protects your data swiftly and efficiently, so if your system suddenly shuts down, you keep all your saved work.
Exclusive Data Defense
Prevent your photos, music, videos and other files from becoming corrupted and unusable with layers of error correction and adaptive read technology.
Redundant Array of Independent NAND
Protect your data at the component level with an SSD that automatically provides parity protection for your data. This high-end feature works similarly to how RAID is used with multiple hard drives and maintains the integrity of your data, especially for intense users.
Built-in durability
Because SSDs don't use moving parts that wear out over time (unlike hard drives), your files are less susceptible to a crash. SSDs are better equipped to survive physical trauma, like getting dropped, because they don't rely on mechanical parts.
