WD30EZRZ is WD blue (not black).

WD red and purple are usually fine. But you have to check specs of each particular model.

I am planning to buy this one:

Will this be fine?

Does 64 Mb buffer size meaning it is CMR?

If you're cloning from a failed drive, those 28 pending sectors may cause cloning to fail.
I'd just copy data manually over to the new drive.

BTW your failed drive is 3TB. New one is only 2TB.
Will all data from old drive fit into new one?

Yes. The cloning is finished successfully just now, because before buying i calculated, I needed total (1.02TB+ 545GB ) storage so 2TB was fine.
This is the Benchmark:

Average 145MB/s is very good result for a mechanical drive.

Games Runs Smooth As before. Thank you very much for all your help.

Last question. Should I try to fix my old drive and use it as a External Drive?
i have heard you can make any hard-drive portable if you give it some kind of jacket (From my Technician ). Should i do it? Or should i totally forget about that drive?

Keep it as internal drive. Use it for some non-important stuff.
If it dies, then no big deal.
