Post subject: Back again. NEW HDD Question		 Reply with quote
 
Well I am back again because I once again got another xbox and I am putting an even bigger HD than my other 2 xbox's.

Ok, I am planning on buying a 400GB HD but I need to know what is better and what is the difference between these 2 hard drives I am looking at.

$137.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148137
$109.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822152043

Ok the 109$ HD has 8MB Cache and the 137$ HD has 16mb cache. What is the difference between those? And how will I benefit from getting the 16mb cache HD?

Also, what makes the 137$ more better than the 109$

Sorry for my stupid questions, any help is appreciated!
Thanks, you guys have always been a big help in the past!

the hdd with a 16mb buffer is better, faster load speeds. less pulling info from the drives sectors, it will pull from the onboard ram on the hdd. FASTER by far

Just a little curious, how much space do you think I could get off the 400GB HD?
My guess is like 370-380GB
Thanks Smile

Yea I know they are split up like that, but I am wondering how much in total can I get from a 400GB Hard Drive.
But thanks for that info.
