Question: These HDDs will be used mostly for backups and data-storage (pictures, movies) which aren’t often read.The price difference is 1.5 Euros in the case of these two:
- HDD Western Digital Caviar Green Power500GB, 7200rpm, 32MB, SATA2
- HDD Western Digital Caviar SE16500GB, 7200rpm, 16MB, SATA2
The only difference is the buffer size (16MB vs. 32MB). Is the larger buffer size worth the extra money?
Answer: It really worths the extra money.Why :
when you try to access a content from hard disk , it takes time to find the content you need.buffer is made from good stuff with high speed access. So when you find a content, it will save them all to buffer through an algorithm . ?
Conclusion: It makes your HDD disk works faster 🙂 especially with large contents 🙂
