I'll start this admitting I am I am admittedly not hardware technical savvy.
Our Tivo which is ~9 year old died today after a power fluctuation. From what I can tell from research a common issue appears to be the hard drive dying when certain lights appear. When I pull the cover of the Tivo there are sounds coming from the HD so I think it is safe to call it dead.
The old HD is a 500GB drive. I'd like to upgrade to a ~1TB drive, which I believe is compatible. Now my basic technical.
Where/who is a good vendor to get a legit hard drive from?
The Tivo is a Bolt model TCD849500. The hard dive is a 500GB Western Digital model WD5000LUCT-63RC2Y0 made in July 2015. Can anyone recommend a compatible model HD in the 1TB range? I know very little about hardware. My requirements are 1TB from a reputable brand and reputable vendor. I don't want a cheap knock off.
Thanks for your advise in advance. Yes I know I am living in the past using a Tivo but it is convenient.

There's no doubt a 1 TB version available, but seeing as how inexpensive the 500 GB drive is, you can't go wrong just sticking with this size.
