Sony VGN-FW486J Hard Drive
Hard drives are designed in different capacities and types. Because hard drives are sensitive pieces of hardware, they will fail you whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. Your Sony VGN-FW486J has a hdd, or hard disk drive, that stores your important information and other data that the computer needs. Swapping hard drives is an easy job if you have ever replaced a hard drive before, obviously. The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase really depends on the Sony laptop. The actual storage size of the drive is quite simply a personal choice as most computers can handle any size drive.
Main clues that your main HDD is going out
- The operating system may begin to boot up and may only boot up once in a while
- The laptop freezes when you use certain programs
- The computer may shut down without warning while using it
- Your laptop hesitates or is slow to respond off and on through the day
- With older hard drives you may hear a tick, tick, tick sound coming from within the computer
