So today I left my house for about 1 hour and came back to my computer and it won't let me log in but instead shows me these error codes:
Stop: 0x000000ED
Error: 0x8007045D
I just can't believe my computer suddenly stops working after putting it in sleep mode for about 1 hour and my computer tells me to replace my hard drive but i'm not sure which one's to get that would be compatible with my system. here are my specs:
CPU: Dual-Core CPU E5800 @ 3.20GHz
Motherboard: FOXCONN 2A8C (CPU 1)
Motherboard chipset: Intel 641 (eaglelake) + ICH7
Memory: 4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 399MHz (6-6-6-15)
Storage: 931GB Seagate ST31000340NS ATA Device (SATA)
Video Card: 1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series (Diamond)
Case: HP Pavillion p6744y
Power Supply: Seasonic MX12II 520W 80+ Bronze
Optical Drive: hp DVD A DH16ABLH ATA Device
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Much appreciated if you guys could give me a list of storage units 1Tb+ that fits with my specs.
 

well I live in cali so west side but yea I can pick any hard drive storage right? would you say WD is the best brand?
 


I feel like WD is the best brand, but there are plenty of people who will say that Seagate is better. Opinions will differ a lot about who's the best between these two companies, but most would agree they're the top 2.
 



WD is a really great brand and a lot of people run their hardware. I have experience with them and to me, the WD black's are the best hard drive that i've used. Although "best brand" will always be subjective because people look for different things, but to me WD is best hard drive brand definitely.
 

good to know man just curious but how long has yours lasted for?
 


I've had my WD Black 1tb for about six months. I'm not the best to ask about how long mine has personally lasted, but WD offers a five year warranty from memory. That means they have a lot of confidence in their product and i have no doubt it'll last longer than i actually use it for.
