Compaq 511 Hard Drive
Installing a hard drive can be a simple task if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, of course! Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they will fail you at any time for a wide variety of reasons. Your Compaq 511 contains a hard drive which is in charge of storing the data for the computer. Hard drives are available in different sizes and types. The type of hard drive to get really depends on the computer. The storage size of the drive is simply a personal preference as just about any computer can handle any size drive.
Major indications of a barely functioning main hard drive
- Your laptop freezes or does weird stuff at random times
- On some older computers you may occasionally hear a ticking sound resonating from the computer
- It may begin to load and may not ever fully boot
- The computer may crash suddenly at random times while using it
- Your Compaq laptop shuts down when you open a particular program
