I'm considering only "normal" hard drives,no ssd's as they're too expensive for an old system like mine imo.

Size should be equal or more since I want to clone it's contents.
I only have Sata 2 connectors btw.

Thanks for any help.

Btw not certain I would want to replace it with another Seagate drive.

I'd recommend a Samsung hard drive; they're pretty reliable.
Samsung F3 HD103SJ 1TB internal Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache 7200RPM – OEM: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Pick either a Samsung Spinpoint F1 or an F3 - avoid F2 and / or "Eco" at all costs.
