Good Morning all. Currently I'm planning a new budget gaming build for a friend using (4)2.5 inch laptop HDD, instead of the standard 3.5 inch HDDs. He wants the look of SSD installed in his rig. If I use WD Black 7200 RPM 6Gb/s 2.5 inch drives instead of using the standard WD Blue 7200RPM 6Gb/s drives, will there be a performance reduction of the system since I know that laptop HDDs use less power and generally have a smaller Cache Memory (16MB as opposed to 64MB)?
I know he could always take out a second mortgage and use (4)2.5 inch SSD drives instead, but keep in mind that this is a budget build. I know I can build it, but will there be any issues. Below is the link to the 2.5 inch HDD that he provided. If there is possibly a better option than these while remaining cost efficient, please do share.
