Solve : Hard Drive Deliberation?

Answer»

I building a PC and do not know whether to go with a 7,200RPM or 10,000RPM hard drive. What DIFFERENCE will I see in the drives? What does the speed of the hard drive AFFECT in regard to performance? Will the computer run faster and if so in what aspects? Also, is the added cost worth it in your opinion? Quote

What difference will I see in the drives?

physically, NONE.

What does the speed of the hard drive affect in regard to performance?

your computer will be able to read (from the harddrive) and WRITE (to the harddrive) faster. from what i have read, it should read/write fairly close to 50% faster, but dont quote me on that figure.

as i stated before, your comp will be able to read and write faster.

unless you are doing alot of reading and writing then the added cost is not worth it. personally i use my comp for gaming, a faster harddrive will only make the game load faster, not play smoother. Quote

That was the answer I was really LOOKING for. Appreciate the help Homer.
