    Hi I have a quick question regarding my hard drive, hopefully somebody can help.
    The specs are basic: I5 processor and 500gb harddrive.

    I have a 128 gb ssd I'd like to install into this machine, but after opening it up, I see that the hard drive is stuck.
    It has copper edges which lock the hard drive in place.
    I find this very stupid because it does not allow me to change the hard drive if I need to.
    Attached is a picture showing it, and you can see the copper edges on the left, which hold it in place.

    Has anyone come across this before and does anyone have any suggestions?
