[saarxee]

I want buy new drive 4TB because good deal..

but only 5400.. it was good for gaming and works?



I see videos 5400 vs 7200 and sometimes 5400 bit faster...

it was critical for gaming? I want big storage for games...

7200 RPM hard drive are without a doubt faster than 5400 RPM drives, 5400 RPM drives offer an average of 100 MB/s read and writes speeds while 7200 RPM drives deliver an average of 120 MB/s read and writes speeds. ... However, if you're simply looking to store files, then you should consider the 5400 RPM drives

As other members told you in the other thread you posted, it is good for storing backups and such but not gaming.
