PC freeze problem

[TheSloth]

I bought it for Rs.720.

I got those 90mbps speed on my current laptop with old HDD, though it was 5yrs back but I remember well about those speeds, since I never witnessed it before. That time also my HDD was filled around 500gb I guess. I Wasn't a data hog in those days. But I need to transfer some big files using external case to check speeds and will also use some benchmarking tool. Will update those transfer rates here.

@whitestar_999 . Though I have already made the purchase, I want to know one more thing about the HDD I bought.

Western Digital WD 1 TB Laptop Internal Hard Disk Drive (WD10JPVX) - Western Digital : Flipkart.com

I want to know what's the difference between this WD blue and Seagate below :

Seagate 1TB Laptop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive ST1000LM048 *www.amazon.in/dp/B01LY3Q201/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZjC7zb62QWXYK

The Seagate has 128MB cache but WD has only 8MB cache. Why such a huge difference? How much impact it has on performance?

Cache on laptop hdd will not make that much significant difference in overall system performance so don't worry too much about it.Always give more importance to reliability than performance when it comes to hdd.No amount of cache on any hdd will bring it even near to ssd performance which is what one should be aiming for in today's time when talking about overall system performance.
