Hard Drive Upgrade

Your computer's operating systems, software applications, documents and musics and videos are all stored on your hard drive. Naturally, you want to have plenty extra space on your hard drive so you can create more documents, download more musics from iTune and store pictures from your digital camera. Your operating system also uses the hard drive as a virtual memory space so you never have to experience the dreaded "Out of Memory" message. As a general rule of thumb, you don't want your hard drive's free space to drop below 15% of its capacity. Windows's performance drops significantly when hard drive's free space is lower than 15%.

When upgrading hard drive, there are two options. Many computers can support more than one hard drive, so you can simply add a second hard drive to your system. But if your PC can not support a second drive or you have a laptop, then you need to replace your old hard drive with the new hard drive and it involves backing up your data from the old hard drive and transfering the data to the new drive.

Hard drive price is dropping these days, with price dropping to around 40 cents per GB. It's one of the most bang for the buck upgrade you can perform on your PC.

When we upgrade your hard drive, we'll first backup your data, then we'll install the new drive and transfer the data onto the new drive. We'll also perform a complimentary security inspection of your system.
