Mechanical hard drive is a hard drive that is driven by a type mechanical engineering called Physyolical Nethial. Created and discovered in the late 1600's by Dr. Weed and his assistent Mr. James Lee Sulavent. Mechanical hard drive is now used in nukes, bombs and even shoes. It has saved -13 lives and now widely used. In the year 3019, the year world war z happend, the mechanical hard drive was used to make the Zombies do as any human desired, gangnam style upside down on a golden toilet while on the moon.
Yes, you can replace a hard drive in an HP laptop. Hard drives for laptops are a standard 2.5 inch size drive. You can pick them up online between $50-$200 depending on the size and if its solid state drive or a mechanical drive
Depending on what do you mean by "going bad". just so you know, the slowest component of the computer is it's hard drive (because it's mechanical) , therefore, a bad hard drive will probably slow things down.
It will look like a regular hard disk drive with the solid-state components hidden in plain sight.
No it will have no effect on the life of the mechanical hard drive, the only difference is that the full speed of the USB 3.0 device data transfers (5 Gbps) will not be available, data transfers to and from the hard drive will happen at the slower USB 2.0 speed (about 0.5 Gbps).
Don't let the computer turn it off when it is idle, the constant spin-up and spin-down really wears on the bearings, shortening the hard drive's life. The bearings in a hard drive were designed to be constantly spinning.

Mechanical drive for the speedometer only.
Depends. If you have gigs and gigs of photos [numbering in the millions], then a hard drive might be needed. It's more likely that you don't need THAT much space, and a flash drive would be better, because hard drives have mechanical parts that wear out gradually over time. Flash memory is more protected than a hard drive, though it is slower and more expensive [right now].
a hard drive failure is when your hard drive stops working...
a hard drive is called "disque dur" in French.
* Hard disk drive * Hard drive * HDD
If the Hard drive is IDE (40 pins on the back) you would configure the primary hard drive as Master and secondary hard drive as Slave using the jumpers on the back of the hard drive.
