Compaq Presario XL123 Hard Drive
HDDs are manufactured in an array of capacities and brands. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they can fail at any time for any reason! Replacing a hard drive is pretty straight forward if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. Your computer has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which stores the data in order for the computer to run. The type of hard drive to get all depends on your particlular computer. The actual storage size of the drive is all a personal choice as just about any computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Some warnings the HDD should need replacing
- The Compaq laptop crashes without warning throughout the day
- Your system hesitates or becomes unresponsive off and on through the day
- The operating system may take forever to boot up and may never boot all the way
- Your Compaq shuts down when accessing a particular file
- With older hard drives you can hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
