actually I take back my reply earlier.  8300 motherboard has 4 sata ports so you can use standard 3.5 hdd or even 2.5 ssd for it.   [IMAGE]  
Hello all, I posted a question here before, and got some helpful advice, but I have a follow up question to that one now.... I was basically informed that there is some kind of problem with the bearings of my HDD, and this is why my noises did not happen in Safe Mode, which means i will likely have to get a new hard drive for the machine. I am hoping for some direction to accomplish this please, and Thank in advance.... What replacement drive should I buy, and where would I find it, as the device is very old now??
