So my iMac is pretty sluggish, and I'm thinking this is down to the HDD. Disk Utility usually comes back with errors and opening Spotify can take a few minutes.
I've been through this thread and think I know what I'm doing however I'm not sure which drive I need? I think it's a 3.5" SATA drive so is something like this sufficient - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-257-SE&groupid=1657&catid=1660&subcat=1665 ?

I did consider the SSD route but a) it's expensive and b) won't fit unless it was secured in somehow.
 
Yeah, it's 3.5". Ifixit have step by step guides for pretty much all manner of upgrades and repairs on all iMac models.
