Note for those users replacing an existing Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or SSD: If you

data migration, you will need to procure data cloning/migration software and complete
this process before installing the Vi560 SSD. There are many types of data
cloning/migration software available online at little or no cost to you. If you plan on cloning
your current drive onto your new SSD, a USB-to-SATA cable or adapter is also needed.

an unpainted metal surface (such as your computer case) with your ngers before
touching the SSD to your computer.

• Handle your SSD with care and do not touch the gold connectors on the end of
