anything u donno u may ask here. tongue.gif

well when i buy hdd i will consider few thing: brand name (wd, seagate, hitachi, samsung), warranty (3 or 5 yrs), size (++GB), connection interface (sata or pata), rpm speed (5400, 7200, 10000) & cache (8, 16 or 32 MB).

if you got more money then u can always go for larger or faster harddrive. that's it. laugh.gif

i dont think cache will bring significant improvement to hdd, maybe just a little bit?

from my humble opinion, the hdd rpm speed always come 1st, imagine a 7200 rpm with 32mb cache hdd vs 10000 rpm with 8mb cache hdd, for sure the 10K rpm hdd beat that 7200 rpm drive all the way round.
