As expected the hard drive crashed and the computer is not functioning.
I now have two questions:
1). Will a SSD work on all computers. This computer was built in 2010- but is pretty modern with an i7 and 6GB of ram. When speaking with Dell, they said the motherboard in it would not support a SSD. Is this a sales tactic or could there be some truth to it?
2). When hard drives crash like this are they unrestorable? I backed upp all my data so it is not an issue, but I have other concerns. Dell offered me a good price for them to replace the hard drive and go thorugh the computer and fix anything else that may be in need of repair, and clean it up. I was considering this option as it is close to the price I'd pay for a regular harddrive. My only concern is I imagine they pull off parts and later repair them to be refurbished for other repairs. I wonder if I have anything to worry about- for example is my data recoverable? Could someone else somehow end up with it- or is that hard drive toast?
