If you want a 1 TB drive, this is the one I recommend:

Paul, I came back to thank you. I took your recommendation and it's turned out fantastic. I was a bit hesitant to install it and install windows again onto that laptop, however, with your guidance and Microsoft's media create tool I got it done without a single problem (much to my sarcastic and pessimistic daughters chagrin). Anyway, thank you and I appreciate the time you took for me.
