5400 RPM HDD For playing/storing games?

[Zdos123]

Hello,
I already have a WD blue 1TB 7400 RPM HDD and i am running out of space on that HDD, So i stole a 2TB HDD out of my NAS and i was wondering how much longer the loading times would be on a 5400 HDD vs 7400 HDD?
Thanks,

Well, it is hard to say exactly but a 7400 can access data around 90 MB/s and a 5400 can do it in around 60 MB/s. So, you may see load times increase a little but it really would depend on the game. I can't imagine it would make so much of a difference to be unusable.
