Apple Power Macintosh 5420-180 Hard Drive
Replacing a hard drive can be a simple job if you know what you are doing, of course! Hard disk drives are made in different physical sizes and types. Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they can go out at any time for any reason! Your Apple Power Macintosh 5420-180 contains a hard drive which houses your pictures and all the other data in order for the computer to run. The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase really depends on the particlular computer. The size of the hdd is all a personal preference as almost all computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Major clues that your hard disk drive is dying
- The Apple desktop may crash suddenly randomly while in use
- Your Apple desktop shuts down when you view certain files
- Your system stutters or acts crazy off and on through the day
- It may get stuck trying to load and may never boot all the way
- On some older computers you may occasionally hear a distinct clicking sound coming from within the computer
