Howdy, |

I'm wanting to get a hard drive that is pretty good size. I'm looking |
4 |
for about 1 to 2TBs or so. Thing is, a lot of them seem to be 5900 or |
5 |
even 5400 rpm drives. I realize that the data on there is packed pretty |
6 |
tight so I want to ask a few people that may have one or more of these |
7 |
things a few questions. Are they as fast as a slower RPM drive? Would |
8 |
they be fast enough to play HD videos and such? I have quite a few 1080 |
9 |
HD videos. I don't want the drive to cause issues. |
10 |
|
11 |
For additional info, I put my videos on their own drive. I have a 750Gb |
12 |
drive that is mounted on /data and videos are placed in there. When I |
13 |
am playing a video, the only thing being accessed on that drive is the |
14 |
video. My OS, /home partition and such is on a separate drive. The |
15 |
drives are also SATA 3Gbs/sec drives. My mobo doesn't have SATA 6Gbs/sec. |

17 |
Can someone that has one or more of these post their hdparm -Tt |
18 |
results? Different speeds would be great too. I'd like to compare what |
19 |
a 5400rpm drive would do compared to a 7200rpm drive. |

Thoughts and info please. |
