Inspiron 9400 HDD replacement

03 Nov 2009 09:25AM

G'day fellow members, i'm a proud owner of a Dell Inspiron 9400, bought more than three years ago now.

Since i keep this excellent 17'' laptop on many hours each day, i recently started to worry about an hypothetic impending HDD doom, even though the disc still seems to work great (see my S.M.A.R.T. test results here: http://de.pastebin.ca/1654905 , just got 2 reallocated sectors).

My question is what 2,5'' HDD do you suggest as a replacement? I don't need many GBs (i have 80 now), i just need SATA, at least 7200RPM and excellent durability and reliability.

 Inspiron 9400

Check the Western Digital, 250gb, 2.5", 7200rpm SATA hard drive HERE, that has a five year warranty.

Five year warranty! That's great! Thanks for your answer! D'you think i can find something with less than 5.5ms seek time out there at roughly the same price? Anyway i've got about 10ms now so i think that WD's the deal.
