Alienware 17 R1 Hard Drive
Your computer contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which is responsible for holding every single piece of information for the computer. Replacing the drive can be a simple job if you know the steps to take, obviously. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. HDDs can come in an array of storage capacities and brands. The hard drive type to buy all depends on your laptop. The storage size of the drive is simply a personal preference as almost all computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Important hints that the all-important hard drive is in dire need of a replacement
- The operating system may take forever to load and may only boot up once in a while
- On older computers you may notice a distinct clicking sound resonating from the computer
- The computer may crash suddenly at seemingly random times while using it
- The laptop shuts down when accessing certain files
- Your laptop freezes or does weird stuff off and on through the day
