Compaq NW8240 Hard Drive
Swapping hard drives can be a simple task if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they can fail at any time for a wide variety of reasons. Hard disk drives come in many different capacities and connection types. Your computer contains a hard drive which is responsible for holding your pictures and all the other data that the computer needs. The hard drive type to get all depends on the connection inside your Compaq laptop. The size of the hard drive is all a personal choice as almost all computers can handle any size drive.
Clues to watch for to know that your main hard drive is in dire straights
- On some old hard drives you may hear a ticking sound resonating from the computer
- The computer may crash suddenly at random times throughout the day
- The system may take forever to start and may never boot all the way
- Your Compaq laptop may crash when accessing a particular program
- Your system is jerky or does weird stuff off and on through the day
