Compaq 8000 Hard Drive
Your Compaq 8000 has a hard drive that contains a plethora of data for the computer. HDDs are available in varying storage capacities and types. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you at any time for any reason! Replacing your main hdd can be easy if you know the steps to take, obviously. The type of hard drive to buy really depends on the computer. The storage capacity of the drive is quite simply a personal choice as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Major warnings to watch for in a failing hard drive
- On some older computers you may hear a distinct clicking sound coming from within the computer
- The operating system may get stuck trying to start and may not ever fully boot
- The Compaq desktop may shut down randomly even while using it
- Your system is jerky or becomes unresponsive at random times
- Your Compaq desktop shuts down when accessing certain files
