Dell Inspiron 545 Hard Drive
Your Dell Inspiron 545 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, that stores all of the data for the computer. Replacing a hard drive is pretty straight forward if you know the steps to take, of course! Hard drives can be touchy and they will fail you at any time for any number of reasons! HDDs are designed in many different sizes and types. The type of hard drive to buy all depends on your Dell desktop. The storage capacity of the hdd is quite simply a matter of choice as almost all computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
