Hi, i am going to buy a new Sata 2 hard disk and i wanted to know if you can let me know some disks good for gaming or what i need to look on in a hard disk for best gaming performance.
At least 160GB, 7200RPM, preferably with a 16MB cache if at all possible. If money isn't a problem, the 10kRPM drives are a fair bit quicker than 7200RPM drives, but not enough to make it worthwhile for most people, since it mostly affects loading times, and with a good drive, even that isn't much.
Faster hard drives wear out sooner. Raptors make noise, heat and are just not worth it, IMHO. I think a 160GB HDD will be fine, 250GB if you want to dual boot.
250GB 160GB
Either one should be fine if you want a SATA 3.0Gb/s.
