Does extra hard drive cache make a difference for streaming video?
- by johnny
I am looking at the following two drives for a RAID device, which will be streaming normal things but also a lot of video:
Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0033 - hard drive - 4 TB - SATA-600
TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
Will the 128 MB cache on the Seagate have an effect in my described scenario, compared to the 64 MB on the Toshiba? If so, what sort of difference can I expect?
I'm using a qnap device, if that matters.
