Acer AcerPower 8400 Hard Drive
Due to the fact that hard drives are delicate pieces of hardware, they can fail at any time for any number of reasons! Your Acer AcerPower 8400 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds the operating system and all other info for the computer. Putting in a new hard drive can be a simple job if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, of course! Hard disk drives can come in different sizes and types. The type of hard drive to buy all depends on your Acer desktop. The actual storage size of the hdd is simply a personal preference as most computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
