Compaq Presario XL185 Hard Drive
Your Compaq Presario XL185 contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, that stores the data that the computer needs. Hard drives are available in varying sizes and brands. Swapping hard drives can be a simple task if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, of course! Hard drives can be touchy and they will fail you whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. The type of hard drive to get all depends on your particlular computer. The size of the hard drive is simply a personal preference as most computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
