    I'm not sure if this has been asked before but I sure hope I can get some help. I have a Aspire 8951G and I just bought the Intel 730 Series SSDSC2BP480G4R5 2.5" 480GB SATA 6Gb/s MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), and I cannot find instructions on how to install it. I opened the back of the notebook up and I see the slot where it sits but from there I'm dead. Where do you plug it into and do I run the disk management to make it a drive? I was going to make it the main drive as I have read some information here, but maybe I will be safe just to make it a secondary drive? IDK. Sorry for the noob questions.
