Hi,

My Seagate hard drive recently started clicking then crashed.  The current hard drive is (was) a 750 GB 7200 rpm SATA 3G (3.0 Gb/sec).

Should I buy the same one or upgrade to 1TB?

What size hard drive do I need (3.5")?

Thanks in advance.

Hello larrynoz,

Yes you need a 3.5 HDD and there is no problem with you upgrading to a 1TB HDD or larger. once a HDD starts making loud clicks it is usually a goner.

there are many good ones HERE.*
