Hey guys
When asking around about my proposed build someone suggested i swap out the chosen HDDs i had listed.
The original ones I had were two of these: Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 16MB Cache - OEM
the ones suggested were: Western Digital WD5001AALS 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache - OEM Caviar Black
Upon seeing the cache size on the recommended one i was wondering just how stable they are and if the switch would be worth it.
I've had both seagates and WD but its been many a year since i've been in the market to buy one so I have no clue where they are in terms of competition.
can anyone shine a light on this and let me know if you think spending the extra £5 will work out worth it, and yes i know its only a fiver but it all adds up
cheers
