Ok so here's the deal,
At the moment I've got a 40gb MAxtor HDD running at 7200rpm and has an 8mb cache. In a few weeks im getting a 250gb Seagate HDD running at 7200rpm but however has a 16mb cache, both are ata133 drives.
Does the 16mb cache make it faster (and will i notice the difference) or is it just necessary because it has a larger capacity?
Thanks.
