10,000 vs 7200 harddrives

[Guest]

Sorry if this has been asked alrdy but is 10000 better for gaming or just go with 7200

The 10k rpm drives like a VelociRaptor will only give a few seconds of faster load time for games.

The 10k will be a bit faster for loading, and it will feel a bit snappier overall. However, it won't do a thing for framerates in game, so if all you care about is in game performance, it isn't worth it.

A big 7200 HDD will outperform a small 10000 HDD because of the higher data density.
So just get a cheap 1TB or 1.5 TB drive instead of an expensive 150GB drive which is probably slower anyway.
