my laptop had some problems today, it didnt start and it seemed the HHD was failing. i got it working after a coupple of shakes and hitts at the general area of the HDD and then the wright head seemed to go back to working. im not sure i trust it anymore however so i want a new HDD, or preferable an SSD or SSHD. it dosent need to be very big as i have most off my stuff on my portable 1TB HDD. i have a grand total of $30 and i dont really want to spend all that. I am in sweden so it needs to either be from within sweden or have free shipping here, and the US is a no go because its usiually $20-$40 shipping and toll fees from there xD thanks for any help here and im super fine with used stuff :D

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Maybe you should look into used hardware. Or cough up some more of those fancy kronor. Take a look at your local retail prices, say, here or here. Even the cheapest SSDs and 2,5" HDDs start at 449kr. Which is, what, twice your budget?

30$ is very slim budget if you ask me ... I recomand to just save up 10-15$ more and grab a new small SSD in this budget range there is not very much discount on used SSD's, if you have some tech- or otherstuff try to maybe trade+a few $ via local classifids

 

Otherwise I have a 2,5 inch Laptop HDD with only 80GB it is a ... a old antique IDE Drive but it works xD 20 Euro include shipping
