I'm going to buy a WD Elements hard drive (the newest model) and I haven't been able to find the exact specs (RPM, cache size, ...)
The reason I'd like to know them is that I'll be partially be using this drive for gaming, so I want to be sure it'll be able to do this smoothly. For that I figure that besides USB 3.0 I'll also need 7200 RPM and a decent sized cache (By the way: what would be an acceptable size?).
I'm not completely sure if it'll affect it that much, but I'm willing to pay slightly more for better quality instead of getting the older version, though I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if the difference will be noticeable.
