Question Where is my ssd located inside laptop ?

[philwar1095]

Hi everyone. I have a medion akoya s6219 laptop (which is terribly slow) which has an HDD 500GB and an SSD 128GB storage with SATA II type.

Because of the slow writing and reading speeds, I want to change my SSD to a new and faster one.

The only problem is that i could only find my physical 500GB HDD, but not the physical SSD after opening my laptop.

Some help would me much appreciated.Inside laptop

There is no SSD in that picture. It is very likely on the other side of the motherboard in an m.2 or mSATA slot. It should look similar to a device like the one linked below.

Thank you for the quick answer.

So i should detach the whole motherboard and it should be underneath ?

Most laptops require removing the keyboard to access the other side of the motherboard and the components therein.
