    Never had a WD drive fail on me, in fact I still have all the hard drives I've ever used on my desk next to me (hoarder ) - the only non-WD drive is a seagate one and thats the only one that went U/S

    western digital are by far the best and have been for quite a long time, i've also found Seagate to be a more respectable budget brand.

    Whoever said ssd are too new they've been around for about 5 years, back then it would cost £400 for a 60GB drive, they have been getting quite affordable for about a year considering what they're capable of.

    Which is?

    If your a normal user, then I doubt you'll see any noticeable difference between a good quality SATA and an SSD, imo. In TJ's case, its sounds like his laptop is as old as him, so completely pointless him getting an SSD!

    ive heared of people buying all the parts and making up there own custom towers, is it common place for people to build there own laptops aswell?

    Building a computer is pretty straightforward tbh. A laptop is slightly more complex - you need to get all the right components to fit in the right chassis. You can only upgrade older kit to a certain point, so if you're after something all singing and dancing (in laptop form) you'll need to spend out on some modern kit.
