Hello, my friend's laptop seems to be showing signs of HDD failure. It's starting to freeze more often, and when it does, the hard drive seems to click (click of death?). It also fails and freezes at any attempt to do disk checks.
So I was thinking, why not just upgrade that laptop and change the HDD? Anyway, I'm not too familiar with changing hardware in laptops.
So my questions are...
Do you guys also thing it the hard drive failing? If i were to change that drive completely, what would compatible (SSD or SSHD)? Also, I believe this model has an empty M.2 slot if I am not mistaken. Would it be wise to fill that that M.2 with an SSD and rely on that as a THE primary drive for all purposes?
