HEllo, I have a gaming laptop, in fact here it is, from new egg where i got it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114804
Well, i noticed about a month ago that i have another slot for a HDD. So i finally have the money for it and i would like to get a 1 tb hard drive. (i've had some bad experiences with external HDD's, in both them crashing and there lack of convenience.) I have 2 concerns before buying this HDD
1. The first glaring problem is that the hard drive usually has to be bigger for it to be 1 tb. Now, I would think that my labtop could handle it because it is huge, but i have read reviews of other monster labtops not being able to hold the HDD. i looked though the manual and couldn't find anything on this. So if someone else knows, or knows of a way to tell, I would appreciate it.
2. Then next problem i have is I want a HDD that is reliable. Like i said, in the past i've had problems with the hard drives just dying, and i dont want to go though the hassle of replacing it. So if any one has any suggestions of good, 1 tb internal labtop hard drives, i would appreciate that as well. There are 4 on new egg, and i don't know how to tell the difference between good and bad ones. as far as price goes, i would say 150 is my upper limit for spending.
