ok, computer tech question

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) May 31 '11, 10:14

does the speed or size of the Cache matter for drives that would be in a server mostly used to stream dvd rips?

would a 7200 speed drive perform significantly faster than a 5400? what about the cache?

To a single client, no. To multiple clients, perhaps -- nm - oblique May 31, 10:39
more cache is better, because the HD can read data a whole lot faster than the network can accept it - bigger cache means less wear on the drives - Beryllium May 31, 10:16 4

From what I've seen on video boards, you definitely want 7200. -- nm - David May 31, 10:15 1
