Howdy,
I'm wanting to get a hard drive that is pretty good size. I'm looking
for about 1 to 2TBs or so. Thing is, a lot of them seem to be 5900 or
even 5400 rpm drives. I realize that the data on there is packed pretty
tight so I want to ask a few people that may have one or more of these
things a few questions. Are they as fast as a slower RPM drive? Would
they be fast enough to play HD videos and such? I have quite a few 1080
HD videos. I don't want the drive to cause issues.
For additional info, I put my videos on their own drive. I have a 750Gb
drive that is mounted on /data and videos are placed in there. When I
am playing a video, the only thing being accessed on that drive is the
video. My OS, /home partition and such is on a separate drive. The
drives are also SATA 3Gbs/sec drives. My mobo doesn't have SATA 6Gbs/sec.
Can someone that has one or more of these post their hdparm -Tt
results? Different speeds would be great too. I'd like to compare what
a 5400rpm drive would do compared to a 7200rpm drive.
Thoughts and info please.
Dale
