Hello
I'm looking to add some storage to my home server. I'm running windows server 2008 R2 on a home built server here are the specs:
AMD Sempron 140 2.7GHZ
ECS M7 880GM
Patriot 4gb (1x4) DDR3 1333
Corsair 430w PSU
160GB Seagate HDD
Asus DVD
I use this server to store files, photos and my music. I used parts I had on hand after upgrading friends and family computers. I would like to stick with seagate as all my other hard drives are that brand. I've been looking at two different drives and I guess my question being from a server point of view will i notice the difference between 5900rpm and 7200rpm drives? This is what i'm looking at so far:
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Performance vs. Capacity?
This is my first server so learning as i go and time permits. Would like to buy 2 drives so i have a drive to backup onto.
Thanks for any help or insight
