Gateway 400 Hard Drive
Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will stop working at any time for any reason! Swapping hard drives is pretty straight forward if you have an idea of what you are doing, obviously. HDDs come in varying storage capacities and brands. Your Gateway 400 contains a hard drive which stores your important information and other data for the computer. The type of hard drive that you would need to get really depends on the laptop. The actual storage size of the hard drive is all a matter of choice as almost all computers can accept any sized drive.
Indications of a dying main hard drive
- On some older computers you can hear a tick, tick, tick sound resonating from the computer
- The operating system may take forever to load and may only boot up once in a while
- The laptop freezes when you open certain files
- Your laptop stops or does weird stuff off and on through the day
- The Gateway laptop may crash suddenly at seemingly random times throughout the day
