Definitely not. Who needs an unreliable storage device? - - not me,that's for sure.

For hard drive recommendation it has to be WD (based on my 20 years experience with all the leading brands).
Can't advise on SSD purchase as I've never had one on any of my systems yet. Price needs to come down further before I buy one as I want to get one with same capacity as my existing hard drive to make cloning simpler.

I can't recommend any particular model.

I'm surprised you only got 4 years life out of it. I've got three WD drives, all 7 or 8 years old and all still going strong.
Previous drives were Seagate/Maxtor and they lasted no more than 2 years!

Guess it was just bad luck with yours or may be it had some punishment/neglect?

maybe think about getting an 120gb ssd for the system drive and add a larger capacity hard drive for mass storage, WD Blue or Black
depends really on how big your old drive was i guess and how much you have to drop on them
the rest of your systes spec dont look that bad
