Hey guys,

I bought the Defiance 3 (clevo style) laptop with a single SSD from PcSpecialist. I wanted to buy my own 2nd hard drive and install after - I've now received the laptop, so it's time to decide which one to go for!

I'm not too well up on hard drive specs / what the best choices would be. I'm keen to spend as little as possible, but of course I want something that offers good performance and reliability. I believe only 2.5 inch drives are compatible?

I have shortlisted one option on Amazon so far (see below). If you have any other recommendations or thoughts I'd really appreciate it.

Hitachi Travelstar 1000GB 2.5 inch SATA Internal Hard Drive https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hitachi-Travelstar-1000GB-Internal-Drive/dp/B007Y4BOH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473582229&sr=8-1&keywords=1tb+2.5

Thanks so much!
