• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Sorry, but, that's backwards. FSX, being primarily a single threaded app, is more dependent on CPU speed. The faster the better.
An i7 4770K starts with a 100MHz head start over the i5-4570K.

I stand corrected then.....
 
My preference is 7200rpm, with 64MB cache. The WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB is tough to beat...Don

If instead of the Green 1tb "storage drive" if I go for this "system drive" will that be OK for mostly storage use? There is no price difference:

1TB Seagate Barracuda, SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm, 64Mb Cache

For storage purposes only, speed won't matter as much, so, go with the one that has the better warranty. That is usually a good indicator of the mfg's expectation for longevity...Don
