    Hi, my friend just ordered a new E5420 from Dell. He also ordered an SSD and I will help him to swap out the hard drive. I know in general where the hard drive is located and how to replace them, but I wanted to make sure where the hard drive is located specically for E5420. Could someone post a picture of where it might be? Thanks a lot!!!

    Hard drive should be easy to spot, it's either underneath the access panel or it will slide out the left side.

    I don't have disassembly pictures available at this very moment. You open the E5420 with the bottom panel screws, and the harddisk is pretty much in the center of the case. Remove some more screws to release the HDD caddy, and you can replace it.

    I also replaced the HDD with an SSD here, and had absolutely on problems disassembling the laptop, or finding the HDD.
