Supa Posted October 29, 2010 Content Count: 1765 Joined: 12/30/09 Status: Offline Share Posted October 29, 2010 Recently my computer began to freeze randomly and my hard drive made a continuous clicking sound. Upon further research I found out that my hard drive is crapping out and I need to replace it. (Unless someone knows of a different fix for this.) My questions to the more knowledgeable techies out there is what hard drives to you recommend I get. Thanks for any help you can give me!

It is one of the fastest and most proven 1TB drives on the market today. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/36904-new-hard-drive/#findComment-474292

I'd recommend jumping up on 640gb> 1TB is still pretty cheap so there's no harm in buying one now, I thought I would never use all of my 500gb hdd space and next thing I know im ripping and re-encoding about every dvd i can find.

Do yourself a favor and get a Western Digital Caviar Black. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/36904-new-hard-drive/#findComment-474363
