Caris Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If i have a 60gb Notebook HDD at 5400, then replace it with a 160gb at 5400 will there be any increase in temp or reliability? or is that just if you increase the speed not size?

Bogbas Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 What? 7200rpm vs 5400rpm hard disks. And to answer to the first post: No, I don't think that the size affects reliability/temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Having a 160gb at 5400 over 60gb Notebook HDD at 5400 will increase speed ever so slightly because of the density of the sectors. Remember a thread on the notebook forums ages ago discussing it. But if it's purely seek times you want to improve then grab yourself a 7200rpm drive.
