The hard drive of a computer, like most technology items, has a specific lifespan, which can be extended or reduced depending on their wise or unwise use. There is no specific rule for when the hard drive will stop working. This depends on the hours of use, the model, the brand, etc.

The average lifespan of a hard drive is 4-7 years. However, most users change their hard drives earlier, as technology advances, new, more advanced models emerge and the quality-price ratio changes. Additionally, consumers tend to need more storage capacity over the years so they replace their hard drives well before the decade.

Let’s say they keep their old hard drive. How will they understand that there is a problem with its operation? The indications are the following:

• A noise is heard which gradually increases
• While it is operating and writing or reading, it momentarily “freezes”
• The computer becomes excessively slow and hangs

If you identify any of the above symptoms, all you have to do is bring your computer to a THEFIXERS store. An experienced technician of ours will examine your hard drive and will propose the best solution at the most advantageous price.
