so i've been running my pc without hdd all the time (only 240gb corsair force ssd)
and i need a hdd now,my friend told me that i need a hard drive with 64kb cache instead of 32,or it will decrease my pc performance ,and what brand should get then

specs:
mobo:msi z97 gaming 3
cpu:intel core i7 4790
ram:team dark 8gb 2133mhz
graphics:msi r7950 tf3
ssd:corsair cssd-f240gbgs-bk 240gb
psu:venomrx sentinel 80+ 700w

All (or at least most all) of the current WD and Seagate drives are 64kb. Depending on your budget, I would go with something like a 1TB WD Blue or Black. If you anticipate larger storage needs you can get a bigger drive, but if you have been good with just your SSD, 1TB will probably be enough for quite some time.

i'm going to get a pair of 2tb drive and use them together 1 for main data,while the other one for backup,can i use raid config for that btw,so i don't need to refresh the backup hdd when i changed or modified some of my data on the main hdd
