A customer currently has a desktop PC which, among other things, has a 970 Gaming ATX AM3+ motherboard, with a PATA hard drive that has 150 GB storage and 3600 RPM spindle speed. The customer is complaining that the PATA hard drive is running out of storage and is slow. They indicate that they have a budget of $200 and would like this hard drive to last for the next few years. They have several videos and photos that they currently need to store, which will take up at least 100 GB. They anticipate the need to store at least 75 GB of data over the next few years.

For this project, make use of the PC Part Picker (https://pcpartpicker.com/) website to identify appropriate components. Based on your readings and PC Part Picker, what do you recommend they purchase? Explain your reasons for your choice.

After you purchase the hard drive, explain the procedure for installing what was recommended within their PC.

What cables, if any, are used?

What bay, if any, on the PC is used?

• Are any bay adapters needed? If so, which one?

What safety procedures will you follow? Why?
