Compaq 8080 Hard Drive
Your computer contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which contains the data in order for the computer to run. HDDs come in an array of sizes and types. Replacing the drive can be a simple job if you have an idea of what you are doing, of course! Due to the fact that hard drives are delicate pieces of hardware, they can fail whenever they want for any reason! The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase really depends on the computer. The capacity size of the hard drive is all a matter of choice as this computer can handle any size drive.
