Compaq 1600-XL257 Hard Drive
Hard disk drives come in different sizes and connection types. Replacing a hard drive is quite a simple task if you know what you are doing, of course! Your Compaq 1600-XL257 contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which stores all of the data that the computer needs. Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they will stop working whenever they want for any number of reasons! The hard drive type to get all depends on your Compaq laptop. The storage size of the hdd is simply a matter of choice as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
