Dell OptiPlex GX1 Hard Drive
Replacing your main hdd can be a simple job if you know what you are doing, obviously. Your Dell OptiPlex GX1 has a hard drive which stores every single piece of information for the computer. Hard disk drives come in many different sizes and types. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they can fail at any time for a wide variety of reasons. The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase depends on your Dell desktop. The size of the hdd is all a personal preference as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
What red flags are there that my main HDD has to be replaced?
- The Dell desktop may crash suddenly without warning while in use
- With older hard drives you may occasionally hear a ticking sound resonating from the computer
- Your desktop is jerky or becomes unresponsive off and on through the day
- The system may get stuck trying to begin loading and may only boot up once in a while
- Your Dell desktop freezes when you open a particular program
