Due to the delicate nature of a hard drive, they can fail at any time for any number of reasons! Replacing a hard drive can be easy if you know what you are doing, of course! The type of hard drive to buy all depends on the connection inside your particlular computer. The storage capacity of the drive is all a personal choice as this computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
