Apple PowerBook 5300 Hard Drive
Hard drives can be touchy and they will stop working whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. Hard drives come in many different physical sizes and brands. Replacing the drive is quite a simple task if you know what you are doing, obviously. Your computer has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds all of the information in order for the computer to run. The hard drive type to buy depends on your particlular computer. The size of the drive is all a matter of choice as this computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
What to see if the hard disk drive is almost dead?
- The computer may shut down at seemingly random times while in use
- The laptop may crash when accessing certain programs
- The system may get stuck trying to begin loading and may never boot all the way
- Your laptop is jerky or becomes unresponsive at random times
- On some old hard drives you could possible hear a distinct clicking sound coming from within the computer
