Hi
My computer broke recently and I have determined it is the Hardrive that has finally died after 7 or 8 years. Though broken even after I did a full wipe and reboot my system started crashing after 4 weeks and the diagnostics always pointed to my hard drive. I am a gamer but mainly like X4 and RTS games so not graphic heavy games but need high processing power. I am told solid state drives are the way to go. I am unsure if the hard drive I should get is determined by my other components or if they limit what I can get. The last games I could play before it died where Warhammer total war and Arc Survival Evolved though on reduced settings and at slower speeds.
These are the specs of my computer
Alienware Aurora
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
1TB-SATA-11,3Gb/s, 7,200RPM, 32MB Cache HDD - My harddrive that has died
Single ATI Radeon HD 5970, 2GB GDDR5
6GB Tripple Channel 1333Mhz DDR
Windows 7 64 bit
It is the older model Aurora not there newest iteration so I have 3 hard drive spaces though really at this point am concerned with just getting one so I can get my computer running again. I also plan to install Windows 10 when I reboot my computer. Any help would be nice my dad travels to New York next week and have asked him to get me one. I live in Bermuda so it's too expensive and choice is limited.
