Which hard drive is compatible with mine
I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500 GB ST3500418AS hard drive and it does not work anymore. I would like to know what hard drives are compatible with it and how you know they are compatible.
Your hard drive only needs to be compatible to your system. To replace your failed drive all you need to do is get another SATA hard drive with same or more hard drive space. The only reason to look for similar compatible drive is if your drive crashed and you are having disaster recovery done on it, in which they are attempting to recover the data from the platters or repair the circuit board. In which case they will most likely want an identical drive (same brand and model).
