Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds
than floppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes
with a replaceable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and approximately .374” (.95cm)
high IDE hard disk drive. Current IDE hard drives support S.M.A.R.T.
(Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors
or failures before they happen. Most Notebook PC models use PATA
(Parallel ATA) hard drives, but selected models use SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives. When replacing or
upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC.
IMPORTANT!
Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.
Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong
vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will
likely be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.
