Hard drive question

[Borealis316]

So a buddy of mine just picked up a new hard driver for me. I'm going from an old 5400rpm 120 gig drive 2MB buffer (made by samsung).

Heres the specs on my new hard drive.

How much of a difference will I really see on this new drive? I know enough about other hardware....just never bothered to learn much about hard drives.

Thanks!

You'll see a fair ammount of a speed increase. It's spinning at a nice 7200rpms which is the new standard and it's got a nice 8mb cache, which are getting out of here.

It will definately be a nice noticeable difference.

Good deal. Was kinda worried about my current main drive dying soon anyways.
