Sony VGN-B1XP Hard Drive
Replacing your main hdd can be quite easy if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. Due to the sensitive nature of the drives, they can fail whenever they want for any reason! Your computer has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which contains the data in order for the computer to run. Hard disk drives are made in many different sizes and types. The hard drive type to buy depends on your Sony laptop. The storage capacity of the drive is simply a personal choice as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Hints to watch for in a failing hard disk drive
- On some old hard drives you may hear a distinct clicking sound resonating from the computer
- The computer may crash suddenly at seemingly random times throughout the day
- The operating system may get stuck trying to load and may only boot up once in a while
- Your Sony may crash when accessing certain programs
- Your system is jerky or acts crazy off and on through the day
