Which hard drive would be best for my lap top?

160GB 5,400RPM Hybrid Drive w/ 256MB flash memory



OR



160GB 7,200RPM (8MB Cache) w/ Free Fall Protection



OR



200GB 7,200RPM (16MB Cache) w/ Free Fall Protection



OR



320GB 5,400RPM (8MB Cache)



I plan on using the computer for mild gaming and other normal computer usage. It will be running Windows Vista with a 2.0 GHz Processor and 2 GB RAM. It also has an NVIDIA 512MB GeForce Graphics Card.



I don't really understand the difference between these hard drives (except for the sizes) or which I would be better off with. Any suggestions?

The 7200rpm drives will be faster, the 16MB cache will be faster than the 8mb.



"Flash memory" is actually relativly slow, especially when being written to, the "cache" memory in the "normal" drives is NOT "flash memory" it's normal RAM.



7200 RPM drive will be 33% faster (7200/5400) than the 5400 rpm drive
