Hi all

Bit unsure as to which will be faster for gaming/load times. The Deskstar has quicker seek times but less cache... Deskstar is 160GB per platter dont know what the caviar is?

Western Digital Caviar RE 160GB 1600YS SATA-II 16MB Cache
Hitachi Deskstar 7K160 NCQ 160GB SATA-II 8MB Cache

Also if i go for a larger HDD instead, would it be worth getting the Deskstar 320GB 16mb cache over the 250GB 8mb cache version?
or Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache

Thanks in advance!
