Hi,
My laptop HDD is 5 yr old and started to give a lot of read/write errors recently, I'm also finding very difficult to back the data from my laptop to my Seagate external HDD.When I copy the files to external HDD it gives I/O error. When multiple files are copied the fan runs at high speed makes lot of noise and the laptop.shuts down due to overheating. Due to this I got a chkdsk to scan and fix the errors on my external drive due to data copy failure taking additional 4hrs to scan for errors. My laptop.internal drive is Seagate momentus ST9500325AS 5400 rpm 500 GB,2.5" internal 8 MB cache SATA 3.0 GB/s drive and find that the drive is unavailable in my country.
I've just seen Seagate momentus Thin ST500LT012 500 GB 5400 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB/s 2.5" internal Laptop/Notebook Hard disk on Amazon and would like to.know if I can replace my old with this
I was not sure to order this online since it reads thin I doubt if it would be slimmer than the old one and might not be an alternative.
I would also greatly appreciate if someone could suggest an alternative HDD preferably Seagate to replace for Dell 1558 studio
Thanks in advance.
Kar
