I just looking for some input on if there are any real (noticeable) advantages to go with an enterprise hard drive on a home PC/gaming PC. I see there are some measurable differences just dont know if the above average home pc would notice much difference. I am kind of guessing no...but thought I might ask. Thanks in advance for your input. I noticed the thread concerning disabling TLER if you are not going to use a raid config. I checked that my mobo does support Native Command Queue.

the 2 HD I am looking at for comparison are the 2 below.

Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200/16MB SATA 3.0Gb/s
