I'm trying to upgrade my laptop's storage from 512GB to either 1TB or 2TB, but I'm on a budget. I'm hesitant about buying second-hand hard drives. Does anyone have tips on where to find affordable options and advice on setting up a second-hand drive if I go that route?

Before you buy, make sure your laptop can fit a secondary drive and check what type it needs. I wouldn't go for the cheapest options; aim for at least a mid-range drive for better performance.
I’d recommend saving up a bit to buy a good SSD instead of an HDD. SSDs are faster and more reliable, especially nowadays. They can often be found at decent prices if you keep an eye out for sales!
Are you planning to replace your current drive or add a new one? If it’s the latter, you’ll need to check if your laptop has a SATA, M.2 SATA, or M.2 NVMe slot. Going with M.2 NVMe is a good choice for better speed!
