Compaq 1600-XL258 Hard Drive
Hard drives are manufactured in varying capacities and brands. Your Compaq 1600-XL258 contains a hard drive that contains all of the information that the computer needs. Putting in a new hard drive can be a simple job if you have an idea of what you are doing, obviously. Due to the delicate nature of a hard drive, they will fail you whenever they want for any number of reasons! The hard drive type to get really depends on the particlular computer. The storage capacity of the hdd is all a personal preference as almost all computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Red flags that your main HDD will need to be replaced
- The Compaq laptop shuts down without warning throughout the day
- Your Compaq may crash when you open a particular file
- On some older computers you may notice a ticking sound resonating from the computer
- It may begin to begin loading and may only boot up once in a while
- Your system halts or does weird stuff at random times
