It presently has a Samsung H/D 753LJ.

Leon, any 3.5" SATA disk will fit. The 753LJ may have been superceded. A quick search suggests it might be easier to get a 1TB disk.
I don't have any Samsung disks so can't comment on them. I do have several from Western Digital (in my NAS) and Seagate (in the PCs) and they have not caused any issues.
If your PC supports RAID I'd suggest you get two identical disks and get them set up as RAID-1, so a single disk failure will not lose everything on you.
