i'm reading hdapm tool supposedly should have installed after replacing hard drive. know i'm talking about? have caused hard drive fail young (after 18 months of use), or have seen issues go?

regardless, need replace drive, wise same version , install hdapm or go different brand? looking same size, , under $200...
