    Price to install hard disk.

    Apparently, new units like mine with the noisy fan, now have something else to cool them instead of fans & there's no room for such a unit in my computer tower without putting it in a whole new, bigger tower. He was just trying to save me money, while it's still working. I will be replacing it...

    Price to install hard disk.

    I already had Windows 10. He didn't install anything else. I gather you're from USA. Even though you know the difference between the worth of the 2 currencies, do you know what people in Australia pay for these services? It might be much more than you pay.

    Price to install hard disk.

    It is already done. I asked him to check the fan because it was making a noise. He improved the noise a bit with some WD40 but he also did a diagnostic on my computer & found there was a fault in the hard drive. He replaced it & transferred my data to the new hard drive.

    Price to install hard disk.

    Is $335 a fair price for a computer tech to install a new hard drive? My computer tech is very nice and seems to know what he's doing but I don't know if he's expensive or not. He charges $110 per hour or part thereof to visit or for labour. I live in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
