Hi guys,
I'm making a list of parts to build a computer to set up a home recording studio. I already picked out a 120GB SSD to put my applications and OS on, but I could use help picking out a secondary HDD.
I already have an external HDD that is 1 TB, so that's why I'm shopping for a 500GB HDD.
Can you please help me to determine the difference of these two hard drives?

If I understand this correctly, the one on the left is SATA III and the right is SATA II.
So which is better?
SATA III 6.0Gb/s with 32mb cache
SATA II 3.0Gb/s with 64mb cache
I think I read somewhere that SATA III will work better with SSD, I'm not sure though.
Since I am going to use this HDD for primarily storage anyways, does it really matter what specs it has?
Thanks!!
