8mb cache vs 16mb cache (seagate 300GB)
I just bought a Seagate 300GB ATA drive with 8mb of cache, $70 ($120- $50
rebate =$70) The store also had the 16mb cache version for $20 more. Thinking of going back to exchange for the 16mb version. What is the performance difference? |

What is the performance difference? You wouldnt be able to pick it in a randomised double blind trial. The bigger cache is worth it if its free, but thats about it. |

8mb cache vs 16mb cache (seagate 300GB)
Installed the Seagate 300GB to replace my Western Digital 200GB
The Western Digital made almost no noise, if any at all. But I can hear the Seagate, but nothing to complain about. "tod" wrote in message . net...
