Lenovo ThinkCentre 8196 Hard Drive
Your Lenovo ThinkCentre 8196 contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, that contains every single piece of information in order for the computer to run. HDDs are available in an array of sizes and brands. Swapping hard drives can be a simple task if you know what you are doing, obviously. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you whenever they want for any reason! The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase all depends on the connection inside your computer. The actual storage size of the hdd is simply a matter of choice as almost all computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Major clues that your main HDD will die soon
- The Lenovo desktop may shut down at random times even while using it
- Your system halts or does weird stuff at random times
- Your Lenovo desktop shuts down when accessing certain programs
- On some old hard drives you may notice a tick, tick, tick sound resonating from the computer
- The operating system may hesitate to boot up and may not ever fully boot
