This is the HDD I have right now
Performance
Interface IDE Ultra ATA100
Capacity 160GB
RPM 7200 RPM
Cache 2MB
Average Seek Time 8.5ms
Average Latency 4.16ms
I'm worried about the 2MB cache, but I don't know much about what that is. Could someone explain what it is to me? It's is the stock HDD that came with my old Emachine back in 2004.
so from a IDE 2MB hard drive to say a SATA 3GB/s 16MB or 32MB hard drive, am I going to see a noticeable difference? I use barely any hard drive space so leave that out of it.
