Apple PowerBook 5300-100 Hard Drive
Your Apple PowerBook 5300-100 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, that contains all of the information for the computer. Replacing your main hdd is pretty straight forward if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. Hard drives are available in an array of physical sizes and connection types. Hard drives can be touchy and they can go out at any time for any reason! The hard drive type to get all depends on the connection inside your particlular computer. The capacity size of the hard drive is simply a matter of choice as almost all computers will be able to handle any capacity size.

- Your system hesitates or becomes unresponsive off and on through the day
- The operating system may take forever to start and may never boot all the way
- Your Apple laptop freezes when you view certain files
- On older computers you may hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- The computer shuts down at seemingly random times throughout the day
