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.

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?

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.
