7.2k VS 10k RPM hard drives
I ***NEED*** new hard drives today or tommorow the latest. I have like 10 megs free in my 80 GB RAID 0 and my PC cant record my TV shows anymore because of this, not to mention my PC runs like complete crap.
I'm hesitating between these 2 options:
RAID 0 of two 7,200 RPM, 8 MB cache, 120 GB hard drives (240GB total), about $300 CAD
---OR---
RAID 0 of two 10,000 RPM, 8 MB cache, 74 GB hard drives (148 GB total), about $700 CAD
My question is, would there by a SIGNIFICANT difference gettting the 10k RPMs? I dont want to pay 5 times more per GB for a 20% difference, I would want it to be at least 3 times faster for that price.
Please reply ASAP, the stores close in 1 hour and I'd prefer getting them today rather than tommorow.
Thanks
