Dell XPS 420 SATA HD question

[wack61]

I have a Dell XPS 420 with 2x 320gb Samsung sata drives in, the boot drive started playing up a while back giving error messages, after a few goes I could get it to work.

It's been sat unused for a few weeks because of this, I intend to get it going, back all my stuff up to a 500gb external drive and replace the faulty drive, should I remove both of them and just put one 1TB drive in or replace the faulty one and leave the 320gb in.

as far as I know it's just SATA which drive would you recommend as a replacement, I have windows 7 to put on it as a clean install once I put the drive in

Thanks

if youre backing up to an external drive, no harm in ripping both out and replacing with one large if thats what you want to do.

or keep 1x 320 as a windows/programs drive and pop a 1/2tb in as a storage drive?
