Real performance gain from faster IDE or SATA hard drive?
- by raw_noob
How much of a real-world performance gain would you expect from:
replacing a 5400rpm IDE HD with a 7200rpm IDE HD?
replacing a 5400rpm IDE HD with a SATA-150?
It's assumed that the drive in question is both the system drive and the only drive. A modest AMD Sempron-based home computer with adequate DDR memory running Windows XP Home SP3.
Thanks for looking.
