3-4TB performance Drive Comparision

[Nero-One]

I need a 3TB drive for my main documents / scratch disk and want the best "real-world" performance; not exactly throughout like coping large amounts to and from though that is obviously important but more "random access speed" so i guess IOPS?

I would be fine with the 3TB Toshiba P300 - HDWD130UZSVA

But then the 4TB Toshiba P300 has 128mg cache - HDWE140EZSTA

And a step further the 4TB WD Black has 256GB cache - WD4005FZBX

I know that cache size is not everything but was wondering which drive people would recommend

I do have a penchant for quite drives but don’t mind a bit of noise if the performance gain is worth it

Price isn’t exactly an issue but don’t want to waste money on a drive which isn’t worth marginal gains

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the suggestions...

Lastly would there be any noticeable real-wrold performance gains from the 3TB version which has 64mb Cache vs the 4TB version with has 128mb Cache?
