Replacing WD 1TB on my desktop

[charanBR]

Hello,

I have "WDC WD10EZEX-00RKKA0 ATA Device" 1TB and I'm planning to upgrade it to 2-3 TB. Can anyone suggest me a compatible one for my desktop ?

Thanks,
Charan

Do you have room to add a 2nd HD ? That way can have extra storage or get a nice 500gb + ssd . What will be the use for drive ?

Welcome to the community, Charan!

It's going to be really helpful to share what you plan to do with the extra storage. As @Jp2slow mentioned you can easily add to that HDD if you have the extra space. If you intend to use the 2/3TB HDD as a secondary storage drive, then I'd suggest you check the upgraded mainstream PC products in the WD Blue Family. The larger than 1 TB capacities are in the 5,400 RPM class and are a reliable secondary storage solution for your massive data.

If you, however, look for something high-end and performance-tuned, then I'd recommend you check the WD Black . This model offers various massive capacities and is in the 7,200 RPM class with 64 MB cache. Another advantage of this hard drive is its 5-year limited warranty which definitely gives some peace of mind.

Either way, always backup your data and have, at least, two copies of your files stored in different locations/drives (on-site as well as off-site). This is the best way to avoid any potential data loss.

Keep us posted if you have more questions!

I bought a magicmicro slim pc back in 2012 ( link here ) . I know it has 2 slots for hard drives. I have first hard drive as 60GB SSD and second as 1TB hard drive that I mentioned. Now, the space on 1TB is almost full and I cant even move the files to an external drive because I use most of them frequently. The only option I have is to replace the 2nd hard drive. I dont want to replace the first one (I dont want to go with all the pain of reinstalling windows 10). I'm okay with any reliable HD which is not expensive (< $100).

Please suggest

Thanks,
Charan
