I have a WD Scorpio Blue, and I think it isn't good anymore, I turned on my laptop it said I need to reseat the hdd so I did still says the same thing, now when I turn it on I hear clicking from the hdd, is my motherboard for the hard-drive slot bad or the hdd itself. Also I plan on getting the Scorpio Black which is faster, can my computer provide enough power should I worry about that, also I always use regular power, no batteries.
Thanks! |

Eww laptop
I dont think power is a problem, HDDs probably dont consume much electricity...
Though its a laptop, and the processor probably uses something like 0.001 watts so you should check that. |

| Garbage GPU is an Intel so that shouldn't take much power. |

If the HDD still works u shud just keep using it and hope the disc doesnt go 9001 RPM, fly out of the case and cut you in pieces.
Causing you to lose your data. |

| Yeah, I know, but laptops these days aren't worth the money. Also you do think by getting a faster hdd would it screw up my pc would it read too fast for my processor to respond, or will it help the processor by doing more work for it? |

if you can,
go get a 400dollar desktop and upgrade the parts later if you can or if you really can, buy a 1000dollar gaming computer like I did as I typed this post |

| I think you should just build that 400 computer... Cuz if you buy one theyll use an ugly case with 1 slow fan, with random ugly wires and some no-name-brand PSU and everything is of a weird form factor etc. |

| HDDs do suck a lot of power over time, and a garbage GPU could be horribly inefficient. I suggest you just replace the HDD. |
