I've just filled my second Samsung HD321kj and think it;s time to spec up a bit. What exactly should I be looking for when aiming for better performance? Is it as obvious as a faster RPM, larger cache and SATA III? or have I just jumped into false thinking? I'm currently looking at a 750GB, 7200 RPM, 64MB, SATA III HDD (WD7502AAEX)
Another question, if I pick up a SATA III HDD will I be able to get the 6GB/s with an PCI adapter? (I was told you wont get 6GB/s SATA III with a SATA II MOBO. true or false?) What PCI will it use and will it suck a chunk more power from my rig?
Thanks
