My laptop's HDD decided to be an pimento yesterday and die. Now, I've been having problems without for almost a year, getting the "dude, I'm about to die" message every time I started my computer. So, I backed-up all of my crap and haven't been storing stuff in it, I've been keeping it either online (Google Docs, Dropbox, etc) or backing it up on my other HDD.
Anyway, it's finally dead. And I've never bought any kind of hardware for a computer before, so I'm not exactly sure what to look for. The HDD that died is Toshiba MK8032GSX. If you guys needed any additional information, I'll gladly cough it up.
I'm not looking for anything extravagant capacity-wise (satisfied with 160 GB or 250 GB at the moment, but the higher, the better) and my budget is around $40 - $70 USD, just anyone that fits, works and is above 80 GB is fine with me. I'm able to buy online and have it shipped to the US.
Any ideas?
PS. I hate these stupid school computers, the keyboard is in Spanish. : (
