Right now I am looking at three hard drives for my laptop and I am so not a tech guy and not sure which one to go with based on reliability, performance, speed etc. I purchased my laptop, Dell Studio XPS 1640, back in 2009 with Seagate Momentus 7200.2 - 500 GB and used it up until 2 weeks ago when i couldn't boot anymore and working on rescuing 8 years worth of data. Here are the options I was considering but any other suggestion you might have would be great to hear as well.
