Gateway E-6100 Hard Drive
Putting in a new hard drive is quite a simple task if you know the steps to take, of course! Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you at any time for a wide variety of reasons. HDDs are made in different physical sizes and brands. Your computer contains a hard drive which is in charge of storing your documents and other data for the computer. The type of hard drive to purchase depends on your particlular computer. The actual storage size of the hdd is simply a personal choice as this computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Some clues the primary hard drive is dying
- The system may get stuck trying to start and may only boot up once in a while
- Your desktop freezes or becomes unresponsive randomly throughout the day
- The desktop freezes when you open certain programs
- On older computers you may hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- The computer crashes randomly while in use
