Dell PowerEdge 1800 Hard Drive
Your Dell PowerEdge 1800 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds the operating system and all other info for the computer. Replacing your main hdd is pretty straight forward if you know what you are doing, of course! HDDs are designed in varying physical sizes and brands. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will stop working whenever they want for any reason! The hard drive type to buy all depends on your Dell server. The capacity size of the hdd is quite simply a personal preference as this computer can handle any size drive.
What are some indications that my primary hard drive has gone bad?
- Your system stops or becomes unresponsive randomly throughout the day
- Your Dell freezes when you open certain files
- The operating system may get stuck trying to load and may only boot up once in a while
- With older hard drives you may notice a distinct clicking sound resonating from the computer
- The Dell server may crash suddenly at random times while in use
