SSD Overview
1. Product definition
Solid State Drives, or SSDs, are innovative data storage devices that deliver high
performance, reliability, and quality by using NAND Flash memory instead of the
magnetic disks used in traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). SSDs provide very fast
PC booting and application loading speeds and perform exceptionally well in
multi-tasking environments –all while consuming less power, emitting very little
heat, producing no noise, and offering outstanding stability compared to
conventional HDDs.
Please visit www.yeargoo.com for more information on SSD technology.

2. SSD Interface
All YearGoo’s 2.5” SATA SSDs are compatible with the SATA I/II/III (1.5/ 3.0/ 6.0Gb/
s) standard.
3. SSD Capacity
The actual capacity may be less from that indicated on the product label
depending on the drive formatting method, partitioning, and computer OS.
(1MB=1,000,000 bytes/1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes).
4. Data Backup
YearGoo does not warrant the data stored in the SSD and will not be held liable
for tangible/intangible damages associated with data restoration.
Therefore, please be prepared for the unexpected by backing up any important
data to another storage medium.

Preparations Before Start
1. Visual Inspection
Before installation, please check the packaging and appearance of the product for
human damage and transportation damage. If you find any abnormal conditions,
please contact the relevant sales personnel in time.
Save the original shipping box and the antistatic bag in case you need to return
the SSD. Before installation, inspect the box and device to see any damage.
2. Short Circuit
Please keep metal objects out of the SATA interface circuit. The SSD may short
circuit if the SATA interface comes into contact with a metal object or is exposed
to electric shock. This may cause hardware detection failures or operational
failures.
3. Disassemble & Damage
Please do not disassemble the SSD, damage the SSD, or remove the sticker or the
label affixed on the product. Any product that has had its case opened or its label
damaged or removed shall not be covered by the warranty.

Installation Precautions
1. Please ensure that the PC power is turned OFF and the power cable is
unplugged before removing the PC cover to install the SSD. Serious damage
may occur if an HDD is removed or an SSD is installed while the PC power is
turned on.
2. If an existing SATA HDD is being replaced with an SSD, you can use the existing
SATA interface cable and SATA power cable. If the SSD is being newly installed
to your desktop PC, then you should prepare some necessary items, such as a
SATA interface cable, SATA power cable, 3.5-inch adapter bracket, screws, etc.
3. Please connect cable(s) with SSD, and power on your device. Next, you need
to enter into the BIOS Set-Up and adjust the Boot Up Sequence to recognize
SSD, then the installation is complete and you can start the OS installation.
4. A SATA interface cable that is longer than 1 meter may result in hardware
detection failures or operational failures.
