For seek times it very often doesn't matter, only some games profit mostly bad ports with a big texture hunger eg. Skyrim or Rage. There is no noticeable diff. between 5XXXX and 7XXX Hdd's. To see the difference you need a SSD, but very pricy. |
Yeah, I had a phat once....
Anyways, Since the temperatures differentiate a lot depending on the quality on the drive, yet obtaining information on 2.5' drive temperatures is difficult (unless you look for 2008 models) I would prefere to find a good one that doesn't run extremely hot.
Seek times do matter... Atleast a little :P - Reduces load times on downloaded title
Anyways, because I have ps plus, finding files faster would be a big aid when i download games from the store. I don't like to wait for hours while it installs a 20gb game. If i can get that somewhat down, I'd like that. I realize the biggest difference would come from a SSD, but those are way more expensive than I'm willing to pay :P
A cache larger than 8mb is also preferable.
Thanks for your response :)
