Sony VGN-S480B Hard Drive
Your Sony VGN-S480B contains a hdd, or hard disk drive, which holds all of the data in order for the computer to run. HDDs are designed in an array of capacities and types. Due to the delicate nature of a hard drive, they will fail you whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. Installing a hard drive is an easy job if you know what you are doing, obviously. The hard drive type to buy really depends on the Sony laptop. The storage capacity of the hard drive is all a personal choice as just about any computer can accept any sized drive.
Major clues that your main hard drive is in dire straights
- Your Sony may crash when accessing a particular program
- Your laptop halts or is slow to respond off and on through the day
- The operating system may get stuck trying to begin loading and may only boot up once in a while
- With older hard drives you can hear a distinct clicking sound coming from within the computer
- The computer crashes at seemingly random times even while using it
