Are cute 2.5" and 1.8" HDDs any slower than 3.5" bricks? I want to use them in a sff desktop

Are cute 2.5" and 1.8" HDDs any slower than 3.5" bricks? I want to use them in a sff desktop.
Why do they have less cache than the 3.5" do?

Looking to do HDD heavy operations

bump

Not by much, but the usually have slower spin speeds and are a bit more expensive

Yes, they're generally slower. And more expensive. Expect 10-20% decease in read/ write speeds

Why not just use SSDs?

No, it's just that 7200RPM 2.5" HDD are a bit harder to find, but I'm using a 1TB HGST one in my desktop

I considered them, but they're too expensive, I need something that won't break after a year or two burning all my important files, and recently I learned that they can be power hogs during intense usage (the ssd power saving meme comes from ssds being faster and reaching idle time faster apparently).

And how's it? I had a 5k travel star on my laptop and combined with windows 10 always using the hdd even zoning in wow took ages. But maybe that's just unfortunate coincidence that's why I'm asking.

ATT used to make all kinds of chips.

For data is great, Windows is slow as usual, my Thinkpad has a 5K and my older desktop a 7K and I don't notice any difference. You should buy an SSD tho, I only use one for Linux because I don't boot Windows that often

Also all shops around me are selling firecudas at super low prices. Is it because nobody wants a a quickly breaking time bomb in their computers?

>Are cute 2.5" and 1.8" HDDs any slower than 3.5" bricks?
Depends on the year they were made, model, RPM, cache etc.

3.5" are mostly faster, but not by that much, and only really when they re 7200RPM


>1.8"
Are retarded, it is a depreciated standard that almost nobody uses anymore


>Why do they have less cache than the 3.5" do?

You can get a 2.5 inch 2TB firecuda SSHD which has 8GB flash cache for example.

>not using 10k SCSI mech. drives
Is this amateur hour?

get 1 or 2 tb 7200rpm hgst drives or whatever rpm red drives, it's all you need
but do run the OS on a ssd

>Thinks his bullshit 10k RPM drives are worth anything
>Doesn't know that 10 drive RAID 0 with 15k RPM Cheetah drives are the future

Check out the poser here everyone

Definitely need to run RAID0, with as many drives as possible, to make things work tip-top.

>not buying an entire extra PSU just to power as many extra drives as possible for insane RAID 0

>not using linear power supplies in place of shit switchers

>2.5"
Depends very much on the drive - notebook stuff, No.
Enterprise 2.5"x19mm 15k Drives - Faster.
>1.8"
No.

>not using an MG set

>Not just wiring the drives directly to your local power plant and sending the data across the network using 10x10Gb connections straight to your home

>ITT: Shareblue fails to blend in

>are 5k RPM HDDs any slower than 7k HDDs
hmm yes really made me think

>not using spinning HD to produce energy being sent to M-G, thus creating perpetual energy machine

>not using win2k pro software RAID

The only advantage of the 2,5 one is that you ca repurpose it later into a laptop. They are slightly more expensive though.

You know there are 2,5 in ones that run at 7200RPM, right?

you can write more than a petabyte to an SSD before it breaks
