Apple Power Macintosh 5280 Hard Drive
Replacing a hard drive is pretty straight forward if you have an idea of what you are doing, of course! Your Apple Power Macintosh 5280 contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds the data that the computer needs. Hard drives come in different physical sizes and types. Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they will stop working whenever they want for any number of reasons! The type of hard drive that you would need to buy depends on your Apple desktop. The storage capacity of the drive is simply a matter of choice as just about any computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
