Flat rate $30.00 labor + the exact cost of drive including shipping and California tax (if applicable) - typically ordered from www.zipzoomfly.com or www.TigerDirect.com or www.NewEgg.com 

(Compare with Staples labor price of $49.99)

Too busy to drop off your computer? Add $20.00 for pickup & delivery from your Pacific Palisades home or office. Compare with the other geeks' fee of $100.00 just to show up!

Running out of hard drive space? Do you have an empty drive bay space inside your computer? PCR will order a drive that is compatible with your computer, then physically install, configure, partition and format the new drive ready for use. PCR will also advise if your computer's power supply has sufficient wattage to power the additional drive (with most computers usually there is indeed already sufficient power for a second drive).

Want to add or swap a working hard drive? This same rate applies. Note that the Microsoft Windows OEM licensing agreement will not allow you to swap a system "C" drive that was installed inside a different computer. 

Or do you instead wish to replace your main system drive (C drive)?

Notes:

Half life of a hard drive = 5 - 7 years

Half life of optical media (ex- CDR) = 30 years.
