    • You will arrive to something like this.

    • Pull the black tab popping out to remove the HDD from its tray.

    • The little black tab can be fragile. I recommend you to put tape on it when you have removed the HDD from the bracket to make it tougher.

    • Congratulations! You got the HDD out of the laptop. We can now put the laptop somewhere else and focus on the HDD.

    • On each long side of the HDD, two rubber bands are located. Pull them to remove them and access to the screws.

    • You're done! To reassemble, place a new drive in the bracket and follow the steps in the reverse order.

    When obtaining a replacement hard drive, be aware that many 2.5" laptop drives, particularly older ones, are too thick (9.5mm) to fit in the X220 drive bay. You need one with a drive height (thickness) of 7mm.

I just hope that a 64 year old crazy cat lady can do this without blowing up the galaxy

What size drives will fit?

Dan - Réponse

7mm thick, no more. (I tried with a thicker HyperX 240gb drive but it was too big, wouldn’t fit)
