How we fix your Acer Aspire 5200
We test the drive's health first. If it's failing, we copy your files off before it gets any worse, then fit the new drive.
Most customers choose an SSD. It makes an older Acer Aspire 5200 start and run noticeably faster, uses less power and has no moving parts to fail. We install your operating system and copy your files back.
How long it takes
Drive replacements are usually finished the same day or the next day. Recovering files from a badly failing drive can take longer.
Good to know: If your drive is clicking, switch the laptop off. Every restart can make recovering your files harder.

Common questions
Will I lose my files?
Not if the old drive can still be read. We copy your files to the new drive. If the drive is badly damaged, our data recovery service can help.
Should I upgrade my Acer Aspire 5200 to an SSD?
For most laptops, yes. An SSD is the biggest speed upgrade you can give an older laptop.
