Just 14 months after purchase I ran a check on my laptop this morning and got a result that suggests the drive could fail imminently and should be replaced. No big surprise as I have had some issues, but out of warranty now (of course).
Fortunately I did 2 back-ups a couple of days ago, Macrium and Windows own, so have no worries about losing data (for once!).
I currently have a Toshiba M01ABD050 500gb HDD (actual 465gb). I am only using 100gb of this space, and do not really envisage using a much greater proportion. So I could replace with the same HDD.
But I have seen a good deal on a Seagate 1tb 2.5 inch SSHD and am wondering whether it would make sense to upgrade to this?
What do you think?
