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.
Signals of an ailing HDD
- Your system is jerky or is slow to respond off and on through the day
- Your Compaq desktop may crash when accessing a particular file
- On older computers you may notice a distinct clicking sound resonating from the computer
- The computer crashes without warning even while using it
- The operating system may get stuck trying to start and may not ever fully boot
