    Thank you so much for this video. I had zero experience with PC building before watching this, but this was so incredibly easy to follow and I installed my new hard drive in about 15 minutes! I never thought this would be something I'd be able to do myself, and I really appreciate how clear and beginner-friendly your instructions were!

    It’s actually great to see someone actually show and explain how to install a SATA SSD and correctly initialise it for use 🥰👍🤩. ……. You should do one as a supplementary episode with NVME drives too. Great work ECPU 💪👍
