Gateway M500 Hard Drive
Hard drives can be touchy and they can go out at any time for a wide variety of reasons. Replacing the drive is pretty straight forward if you know what you are doing, of course! HDDs can come in an array of physical sizes and types. Your computer has a hard drive which stores your documents and other data for the computer. The type of hard drive to get really depends on the computer. The capacity size of the hdd is all a matter of choice as just about any computer will be able to accommodate any size hard drive you install.
Some clues the primary hard drive will need to be replaced
- Your Gateway freezes when you view a particular file
- The Gateway laptop may shut down without warning while using it
- Your system halts or is slow to respond randomly throughout the day
- On some old hard drives you may hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
- It may take forever to boot up and may never boot all the way
