Acer TravelMate A550 Hard Drive
Swapping hard drives is pretty straight forward if you have an idea of what you are doing, of course! HDDs can come in varying capacities and brands. Your computer contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which contains every single piece of information in order for the computer to run. Due to the delicate nature of a hard drive, they can go out at any time for any reason! The type of hard drive to purchase all depends on your computer. The size of the hdd is quite simply a personal choice as most computers can handle any size drive.
How can I tell if my main hard drive has gone bad?
- The computer shuts down randomly throughout the day
- It may get stuck trying to boot up and may not ever fully boot
- On some old hard drives you may notice a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- Your Acer laptop shuts down when you use a particular program
- Your system stutters or acts crazy randomly throughout the day
