So i have this old system and I'm looking at the hard drive, which is a Seagate barracuda 160gb, its from 2008 but its been in an office system with very little use.
Now i have a 'newer' one a Seagate barracude 320gb, which was made in 2010 but has been in a home computer with excessive use over the past 4-5 years.
So my question is. Would the older but less used one be any better or should i just keep to the newer (but still old) one with more usage.
Few extra notes they both appear to be the same besides the storage. They both have 7200 rpm and they are both SATA. Also i know i could just buy a SSD and the difference would be much greater but im not intrested in buying a new HD.
Hope you can help.
Thank you
