Hi, I'm planning to buy a new hard drive that will probably end up being the boot drive for a fresh, dual-boot install of Windows 7 and 10. I know I want a 7200rpm drive but I'm not entirely sure what the best cache size would be. This is a gaming rig but I also do work and other things with it. I also typically run a browser concurrently with my games.
Ideally, I want to get the best performance and best load times but I'm not 100% sure what the best cache size would be for such a PC. I'm known as the "Lord of Load Screens" among my friends since I always load in way after everyone else so I'd like to change that with my next drive.
Also, at the moment, an SSD is not an option for me as my funds are very limited right now. Just getting a standard, 2TB hard drive is gonna put me back a little ways, so an SSD would be much worse.
I appreciate any advice and opinions given!
