Hi,
I have a 5400 rpm HDD with only 320gb of total space (seagate segate st3320310cs) , and i think my pc is not fast enough according to another specs of pc. my question is if with one 7200rpm and 64mb cache ( like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 ,could be faster ) ??


My specs :
CPU-Amd a8 6600k
RAM-corsair xms3 1666mhz 4gb
GPU-asus r7250x
MB-msi a88xm e-35
PSU-corsair vs550
aftermarket cooler hyper tx3 evo

PS: dont plan to buy a SSD because i Want storage and speed , not only speed.
 


i know that exists big SSD´s but they are too much expensive , and i don´t wanna spend that on one SSD when i can spend that on a GPU .
So what i want to say is that i want a good solution in price/quality , a good HDD with 1tb .
 


It will be a little bit faster. You may not notice it, though.
 

so what could be a reason for my pc perfome worst than some worst laptops with HDD on boot time and opening google crhome ?

 


That could be a LOT of things. Whatever is in Startup, defrag condition of the drive, too many addons in Chrome...
 

ok i already defrag the HDD few days ago ... I will check for malwares since i don´t have more than eset on startup ... My HDD is a bit old btw
