Assembling a computer really isn’t very complex, as each component has a unique installation point and position. One of the simplest processes when assembling a computer is how to install internal HD, whether mechanical or solid state. We will explain the process of installing a new hard drive step by step.
When working with computer components, we must take certain precautions, but not be afraid of the process. Computer hardware is currently built to be quite robust, so we shouldn’t have any problems. Furthermore, as we said, all connectors are designed so that they can only be connected in one way and avoid problems.
Install a hard drive (HDD or SSD) on your PC
Let’s focus at this point on installing a hard drive in the PC tower. This process is indifferent for mechanical hard drives (HDDs) or solid state hard drives (SSDs), it doesn’t matter. Let’s start.
Back up your data
Before performing any other task, always in IT, it is important to back up your data. We may have surprises during the installation process and the best thing is to be careful. We can store the data on a pendrive or an external hard drive, we can even back it up in the cloud.
Pay attention to whether there is installation space
Most PC CPUs have space for installing multiple storage drives. The manufacturer will always tell us how many bays the tower has, whether they are for 3.5-inch drives (HDDs) or 2.5-inch drives (SSDs). Next, we need to visually inspect if there is space to be able to install additional storage units. Typically, only one space is taken up by the main drive, but it’s best to check if you have the space and what type of drives that space is for.
Caution: Check the electrical current
Before starting to operate, we must turn off the computer and disconnect it from the mains. After turning off the computer, we remove the power cord from the power supply. It is also interesting to press the PC’s power button for a few seconds to discharge the system’s capacitors.
Installing the new hard drive
Currently we can find a column where you can install the hard drives, a removable compartment based on guides and the last, installation space behind the motherboard. Both the column and guide-based enclosure normally support HDD & SSD hard drives without any major problems.
Core i7 notebook: Computers with super performance
Notebooks Core i7from Intel, are ideal for those people who need a more powerful computer, where you can carry out more intense activities, such as video editing, which are jobs that require more software and people to be carried out, as well as for those who are considered gamers and also need a super machine.
Some companies on the market are specialists in computers of this size, such as Lenovo, Dell, Samsung and Acer, and you can find computers from these companies with proposals of this type starting at R$4,209.00.
