Apple Power Macintosh 8100-80AV Hard Drive
Your Apple Power Macintosh 8100-80AV contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which is in charge of storing your documents and other data that the computer needs. Due to the delicate nature of a hard drive, they will stop working whenever they want for any reason! Hard drives can come in an array of physical sizes and brands. Replacing your main hdd can be a simple job if you have an idea of what you are doing, of course! The hard drive type to buy really depends on the computer. The storage size of the hard drive is simply a personal preference as most computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Indications that your main HDD is failing
- Your desktop freezes or does weird stuff randomly throughout the day
- The computer crashes without warning while using it
- On some old hard drives you may occasionally hear a tick, tick, tick sound resonating from the computer
- Your Apple desktop freezes when you open certain files
- The system may hesitate to start and may not ever fully boot
