Right now i have a Western Digital Caviar Blue WD800JD 80GB (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822135106&Tpk=WD800JD).
Some people have reccomended that i get the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152181
Both of them have the same specs except the samsung has a 16Mb cache and the western digital only has a 8mb cache.
Is the difference in speed really worth spending the extra 50 dollars. Id rather not spend more than i have to because the overall cost of my build is only about 550-600 dollars
