which hdd is faster?

[Copperhead]

Option 1: 8.9 seek time w/ 2mb cache

Option 2: 11 seek time w/ 8mb cache

just wonderin which would be quicker or better to get in your opinion

 

[Kuberr]

What brands?

 

[Copperhead]

8.9 2mb is western digital IDE

11 8mb is seagate SATA

they're both 80GB

 

[Kuberr]

I'm assuming the Seagate is 7200.9 series. Hmm, honestly, I would take the Seagate, because the cache is simply four times larger.

 

[Copperhead]

k good, thats what i was planning

but also why are there other 8mb cache hdd's that have 8.9 seek time and they are cheaper (still in 80 GB HDD's)

 

[Kuberr]

I don't think it makes that much of a difference really. If you want to, you can get one with a lower seek time.

Wait, the 8.9 is not the Raptor is it?

 

[Copperhead]

nope, those things are so fast tho

btw, i just got the one with the best reviews

 

[PerfectSK]

Go with the one with a bigger cache.

Yeah, the more cache the better. Plus the Seagate 7200.9 drives are great.
