Dell OptiPlex GXI Hard Drive
Putting in a new hard drive is quite a simple task if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. Hard drives can come in many different storage capacities and brands. Your computer has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which contains your pictures and all the other data for the computer. Due to the fact that hard drives are delicate pieces of hardware, they will stop working whenever they want for any reason! The type of hard drive to buy all depends on the connection inside your desktop. The storage size of the hdd is simply a personal preference as almost all computers can accept any sized drive.

- With older hard drives you could possible hear a distinct clicking sound resonating from the computer
