ok thanks guys,

price doesn't matter father xmas is buying it and he only buys the best

model doesn't make a difference i guess but why do 7200rpm have problems

 


They don't have problems, its a legacy from day's gone by when 7200rpm produced more heat from the power needed for the spin startup, most of the new one's have a slower initial startup so less vibration and less heat produced, and you usually always get a larger cache on the 7200rpm.

If you want to play it 100% safe go with a 5400, but personally I'd go with a good 7200 which I think gives a slightly better performance even if its just a placebo effect.

ok thanks,i'll go have a look at some good ones

i might play it safe because i have an old model,not sure if that makes any difference or not though

you have a serious amount of trophies there jazzy,you must have been busy
