Dell Inspiron 5150 Hard Drive
HDDs are available in different physical sizes and types. Swapping hard drives can be easy if you know what you are doing, of course! Your computer contains a hard drive which houses every single piece of information that the computer needs. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will stop working at any time for any reason! The type of hard drive that you would need to get all depends on your computer. The storage capacity of the hard drive is simply a personal preference as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Subtle hints your hard drive will need to be replaced
- On some old hard drives you may occasionally hear a distinct clicking sound coming from within the computer
- The system may begin to load and may only boot up once in a while
- The laptop shuts down when you view certain files
- Your system stops or acts crazy randomly throughout the day
- The computer may shut down without warning even while using it
