Sony VGN-CR490 Hard Drive
Your Sony VGN-CR490 contains a hard drive which holds a plethora of data in order for the computer to run. Replacing a hard drive is pretty straight forward if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, of course! Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will stop working at any time for any reason! HDDs come in an array of storage capacities and brands. The type of hard drive that you would need to get depends on your particlular computer. The size of the hdd is simply a personal choice as most computers will be able to handle any capacity size.
Major symptoms to watch for in a failing hard drive
- Your system hesitates or is slow to respond randomly throughout the day
- Your Sony laptop shuts down when you view certain files
- The computer crashes at random times while using it
- The operating system may begin to start and may never boot all the way
- On some old hard drives you may occasionally hear a tick, tick, tick sound resonating from the computer
