hello i searched from this but couldnt find anything specific.
i got a coupon from staples for 15 off 25 or more purchase and was thinking about getting a low costing new hard drive for a little extra space and speed boost. the seagate would cost 40 without taxes.
i couldnt figure out how much real world difference there would be or if i would notice at all.
i looked at old reviews and the 7200.7 160gb i have had a read avg of 44mb while the 7200.12 500gb read avg was around 105mb
it sounded a lot faster but i wanted to make sure i wasnt wasting cash unnecessarily.
i use my pc for watching hi def files, general computer use and pc games like cs:s and sc2.
also my specs are 3800x2, 2gb ddr400, 7800gt if it matters.
thanks for your time.
