New HDD

[Leezy]

Hi all just looking for a lil advice..

I want to buy a new HDD at the weekend and im looking for around the 50 quid mark..

currently looking at this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...k 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (WD5001AALS)
Will that be 'a lot' better than the Western Digital Caviar Blue 640gb? as that is 140gb more for 1 pound! is the 32mb cache worth it?

or any other recommendations would be appreciated..

thanks

WD6400AAKS has two high density platters while that WD5001AALS might well have two lower density platters so that would probably show more in performance.
