Hard Drive Cache

[Malek Agha]

I wanna buy a computer and I have a hard drive that has 32 cache. Is this ok?

Yes, it is fine.

Although a 1TB drive for $150 is about 3x $$ what you really need.

Hey there, Malek Agha!

I would agree with USAFRet on this one.
The drive you've selected is a part of our Datacenter series and it's supposed to be used for heavy storage solutions in servers, surveillance and cloud storage.
The WD Re will give you a pretty amazing performance in a server, but I'm not sure you will be able to experience its full potential on a computer as a standalone drive.

I'd recommend checking out WD Black for example.
It's again 7200 RPM with 64 MB cache, specifically designed for performance and high-end applications in all PCs. Mostly used for gaming and demanding software apps.
You can see more details about it here: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=4eSTPO

If you have more questions, let me know!
