[SOLVED] Which make my games load faster?

Solution
Depends on the tech in the drives themselves.
ie - recording technology (PMR, SMR, HAMR...), platter density, number of heads...
And you cant leave out how full the drive is either since that makes a huge difference as does any Reallocated Sectors since those are replaced sectors located in another area of the platter meaning the heads have to move to read that 1 sector and then move back wasting even more time...

In all - too many factors to say without knowing alot more. We could be looking at a 1TB drive from 2005 vs a brand new 500gb; who knows.

Thank you both but somehow the Toshiba boot up pc faster and also with loading games, nearly twice as fast compared to the Seagate which has no bad sector or anything.

Thanks! I didn't know this so, the Toshiba must have some of the tech above that's higher than the Seagate.
