Is buffer size important to HDD performance
I have the following 2 choices for my main drive:
Seagate ST3650323AS
7200 rpm
640gb
32mb buffer
and
Hatachi Deskstar HD30500 IDK/75
7200rpm
500gb
16mb buffer
Does/would it matter which drive I use for my main Win 7 Pro 64bit installation and what would...if any...difference would it make in my system performance, etc ?
Also..is/are there urls around that you can enter your drive modle/id and compare the two in perfomance tests ?
Thanks, TR
