Hi, my hard drive has died. After opening it up it looks like the head/actuator needs replacing. I have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable - 2TB (the actual drive inside is a Samsung).
I want to buy a second-hand replacement and swap the head over.
Question is, do I need to buy another 2TB drive or can I get away with buying a cheaper 1TB drive and hope the head will be the same?
Any help appreciated, lost a lot of data.
