Dell Vostro 470 Hard Drive
Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they can go out whenever they want for any number of reasons! Hard disk drives can come in an array of sizes and connection types. Your Dell Vostro 470 has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which is responsible for holding your pictures and all the other data that the computer needs. Replacing your main hdd is quite a simple task if you know what you are doing, obviously. The type of hard drive that you would need to buy all depends on the connection inside your particlular computer. The capacity size of the hard drive is all a personal preference as most computers will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Indications that your main hard drive should be replaced
- The computer crashes without warning while in use
- On some old hard drives you may occasionally hear a tick, tick, tick sound resonating from the computer
- Your Dell shuts down when accessing a particular program
- Your system is jerky or does weird stuff off and on through the day
- The system may get stuck trying to start and may not ever fully boot
