Laptop hard drives- what to do, which one to pick? How to backup your drive...

So if you're like me, your on edge with your data in your computer, you hear that clicking from your drive and pray it doesn't start to thrash.  Sooner or later it starts acting slow with that clicking.  All signs it's time for a new drive.  Face it, sooner or later the drive is going to fail, it's mechanical and prone to failure.
   I've looked at what laptop drives are good but also reliable.  SSD drives are fast, granted, but they just don't feel secure for the long term-  memory wears out over time and if you need to recover something it's much harder in an SSD then an HDD because an HDD has a platter that can be forensically inspected and recovered.
   With this in mind, what HDD is a good one that won't kerplunk in days or even months?  Scouring through the selections I found one.... it's SATA III and backwards compatible 7200 RPM which is much better then the slower drives, and has rave reviews.  It's the Western Digital 750GB HDD 2.5"   - this is my next Hard Drive

 

Now for backing up-  how?

   Well there are many options out there to back up your drive- from online (don't like that idea), to copying your drive image to a new one- kind of hard...... to this new invention I saw that I LOVE-
   this is something I will get along with my Hard drive to ensure my peace of mind.
    It's called Click-free automatic backup- you plug it in and let it work- THAT'S IT!
  It's backs up what you want or your entire hard drive- OS INCLUDED!
   I LOVE this idea!

What if you have a backup already?

If you already have a hard drive- they even have a cable to make your existing backup to be like the click free-  it makes it automatic----  don't you just love technology?
