Hard drive for my son's computer

[elena_398]

Not even sure what to look for in the BF ads, but my son's computer needs a new hard drive. It totally crashed and my husband said he can't fix it. He needs a new one. Is there a hard drive on BF from somewhere that is a good price? My son is going to buy it as he went on some gaming sites that got a major virus (causing the crash). He has $100 saved up so far. Any help would be appreciated. It was an old one anyway so we new sooner or later it would have to be replaced. Thanks

Need a bit more information. What size would you like to put in - storage wise?

 

What is the make of the computer? If it is a really old system then you might have less choices than the very latest.

 

Post as much info as you can.

I'll go upstairs and take a peek. My husband said a 360 GB is fine or higher.... We thought about one we saw at Walmart (aiden or something like that) that was 98.88. I'll get more info.

To be honest you would be better to shop at New Egg or Mwave and not worry about BF sales. Their regular prices are just as good if not better than any of the BF sales. You can easily get a WD or Seagate HD in the 250-320gb range (SATA or IDE) for well under $100.

newegg definitely for anything computer related. You'll have no problem finding a drive for him. Stick with Western Digital drives though and get a 7200rpm 16mb cache version, or go all out and make him really happy and get him a western digital raptor(10,000 rpm) if he games on the pc or you guys do alot of HD intensive stuff then its a must.

 

Plus your pc will be up in half the time usually :)
