Alienware X51 R2 Hard Drive
HDDs are manufactured in different physical sizes and brands. Due to the fact that hard drives are delicate pieces of hardware, they can fail whenever they want for any reason! Replacing the drive is quite a simple task if you know what you are doing, of course! Your Alienware X51 R2 contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which contains all of the information for the computer. The hard drive type to purchase depends on your desktop. The size of the hard drive is all a personal preference as almost all computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Red flags that your main hard drive needs replacing
- The system may take forever to boot up and may only boot up once in a while
- Your system stutters or is slow to respond at random times
- The computer crashes at seemingly random times even while using it
- On older computers you may hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- The desktop shuts down when you open certain files
