Hard drives are designed to be removed. No. I can not remove a hard drive, but anyone who regularly works on computers can. They simply unscrew and snap out the old one and snap in the new one. They should be backed up regularly. There are two types of hard drives: those that have crashed and those that have not yet crashed. The data from the backup is then put on the new hard drive. If you do not back up your data, it is either lost or extremely expensive to recover.
