Hey everyone,
My ASUS FX-504GD which I bought in AUG 2018 suggested by omega44-xt (Thanks for the great suggestion!) has worked flawlessly for the last 2+ years..
It started showing BSOD for the past week and stopped booting a few days ago, Took it to the ASUS service center and they diagnosed it to be an HDD failure. Now the service center has quoted Rs.8700/- all inclusive for replacing the 1TB SSHD, Which made me think if I should replace it myself as I could get a 1TB HDD for much cheaper or even a 512GB (or) 1TB SSD for the price quoted by the service center.
I'm looking for a storage device with good performance and durability, Don't need amazing performance, but going for an SSD would be wiser is what I've understood after a lot of reading.
Is it a good idea to do it by myself? asking this because I've never worked on a laptop before, but Youtube videos make it look easy. If yes, which SSD or HDD?
found these within budget,

Please suggest, Thanks!!
