I'm searching for an identical hard drive to the one that died and appealing to my geek-type friends for help - it was an ASUS laptop. Here's what the tech wrote:

"It has to be a Momentus 7200.3, 320 GB with a date 09354 and the Site is WU. This will be the easiest way of keeping the financial cost down by finding this exact drive so we can transfer the data over."

Please help if you can, or put the word out to any of your geek friends that might be able to help. I would really, really appreciate it.

Hrm

I tend to agree that getting that level of exact match is unnecessary. However, if you're going to buy another hard drive it probably doesn't hurt to get the same one. $150 for a 32G causes my eyebrows to go up. Rather a lot.

Looking at some common shopping sites it seems like you can get a much bigger drive for that $150.

I have personally had good experiences buying from Newegg over the 'net. Here are some examples of what they are offering:
