Definitely, replace it.
As for drives, I often use Seagate drives. They've got the same kind of performance history, without the parking issue WD drives get.
Something I'm trying this time with my current PC, is a hybrid drive. It's mostly hard drive, but there's a 500GB SSD built into it. What this does is it caches the most commonly used files, so that they load lightning-fast, while still keeping regular hard drive storage for everything. This way, I'm covered in case the SSD component fails.

Those who fear the darkness have never seen what the light can do.
