Need hard drive

[hriggins705]

I need a new hard drive for my computer and I was wondering if anybody knew any good ones out there. I’m looking for something that has at least 1 TB and wether it’s a ssd or a HDD doesn’t matter as long as it works well. Any help would be appreciated

Also does it matter what kind of drive you get depending on the current hardware in the computer

Asking what brand of drive is asking for fanboys to give you too many options, any reputable brand should suffice. With the price of SSD drives now reasonable it would be hard to justify a mechanical drive.

Do I have to worry about making it work with the hardware of my pc or will any hard drive work?

As long as your pc is not ancient, any desktop pc of the last 10 years should be a sata drive.

Open your pc and look at the connectors to the motherboard and existing drive, if they look like this they are sata.
