Replacement Hard Drive for Dell Dimension 5000?

jwb1 · 2008-06-19 21:13:50

Think the hard drive on my Dell Dimension 5000 is about to give up the ghost. It's a Maxtor 160GB drive and I'm looking for a replacement. Someone recommended that I get a Seagate model because they provide an imaging facility so no need to re-install, etc. So.... Can anyone: 1. Recommend a particular Seagate SATA model?…

So....

Can anyone:

1. Recommend a particular Seagate SATA model?
2. Recommend a good seller in Ireland that I can purchase from hassle-free?

Also, would be grateful if you could let me know what cables, brackets, etc. I might need....

Thanks!
