The big ones use drives made for desktops. The smaller ones use drives made for laptops. The smallest ones use drives made for netbooks and handhelds. Do the math on durability. Data recovery is unnecessary if you perform regular, redundant backups.

The cheapest place to get them is at the son-in Plaza at Yongsan.

the case will cost about 20k won.
The drive will cost anywhere from 25k-150k depending on capacity.
The place that sells the parts will assemble for free while you wait.
