Hi [MENTION=320445]obireddy46413[/MENTION],

The upgrading of storage part, it's all depend on the HDD thickness and compatibility with the MOBO. Mostly, all mobile 2.5 inch HDD models come with 7mm thickness, Larger capacity would be thicker, as with most other manufacturers.

For performance issue, I'd suggest you to run the manufacturer utility software to locate the bad sector and recovers readable information.

Just a suggestion, If you are looking for normal computing, daily use drives, solid performance and budget drive. WD Blue HDD models are available from 250GB to 1TB.

The following link describes the specifications for the WD Blue HDD:
