The HDD capacity in Gigabytes indicates how much information can be stored by the HDD. The capacity of the HDD is fixed and cannot be increased after buying the HDD. Therefore, upon buying the HDD you should verify its compliance with your current volume requirements and provides a reserve for future needs.
Data buffer is a high-speed memory built-in the HDD and allowing the disc to receive data at a smooth speed irrespective of the level of loading the physical memory of the disc at the particular time. If you work with a high number of small volume files (documents, photos, etc.) we recommend to buy an HDD with 8Mb or higher data buffer.
