ok i am receiving an error that my hard disk drive has failed when i run the diagnostics from dell......but the thing is the hard disk drive is really making a slight noticeable sound (periodic) and is heating up......
this is happening from last 2 years, till now its running fine i only have BSOD when i change the AHCI mode........

do i need to change the HDD.......

if yes plz suggest a good SSD 250GB or 256 GB in budget of upto 10k........

I'd recommend this:
Plextor M5 Pro 256 GB Desktop & Laptop Internal Hard Drive (M5PRO 256GB) - Plextor: Flipkart.com
This is the 2.5" equivalent of Plextor M5M msata.
If you are tight on budget then this should suffice:
Plextor M5S 256 GB Desktop & Laptop Internal Hard Drive (M5S 256GB) - Plextor: Flipkart.com
