d. Confirm that the replacement drive has a capacity equal to or greater than the drive you are replacing
and that it has the features you expect.

if you are replacing a secure-capable drive, make sure the replacement drive is also secure-capable.

6. Place the drive on an antistatic, cushioned surface away from magnetic fields.
7. Wait 30 seconds for the software to recognize that the drive has been removed.
