Hi,
I have to clone a hard drive, since the current disk have disk errors. I wanted to buy the exact same hard drive model, so there wouldn't be any difference at all (it's an OS disk). But unfortunately it is an old model (Western Digital - WD20EARS-00J99B0), which aren't very common in stores anymore (especially not in Denmark where I live).
So my question is: How problematic would in be to use a newer model hard drive? Is it even possible? And if it is, what would have to be done, for the new disk to work exactly like the original one?
Cheers!
