Need a suggestion on hdd guys.

[pritish]

I need a suggestion to purchase a 2TB hard drive for my laptop as a secondary hard disk using OBHD.

 Currently I'm using HTE725050A7E630 as my primary hard disk

 My laptop model Dell Inspiron 15 3521 (Service tag - 2S8SDW1)

 

I've chosen these : In between ST2000LM003 and ST2000LM007 Which hard drive would be best for me in terms of longevity and reliability.

 

 

Thanks in advance..

They're both made by Seagate, but the 007 version has a larger hard drive cache, I'd go for that one. Make sure you test the drive when you get it using Seatools (Long Generic Test) to make sure you don't have a dead on arrival drive (It happens).

 

Be careful with hard drives in laptops though, I've had to change a few laptops of my friends to SSDs because they shook the laptop or dropped it and it killed the factory hard drive...
