Acer Extensa 5230 Hard Drive
Your Acer Extensa 5230 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds the operating system and all other info that the computer needs. HDDs are available in different physical sizes and brands. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they can fail at any time for any reason! Swapping hard drives can be a simple job if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, of course! The type of hard drive to purchase really depends on the laptop. The actual storage size of the hdd is all a matter of choice as just about any computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
General indicators that your the HDD is on its last leg
- The laptop shuts down when you use a particular program
- The Acer laptop crashes without warning while in use
- It may get stuck trying to load and may not ever fully boot
- Your system stops or is slow to respond randomly throughout the day
- On some older computers you may occasionally hear a ticking sound resonating from the computer
