    HDD Cache

    Does HDD cache make a huge difference? I was looking at the 8MB and 16MB cache Western Digital hard disks... I currently have 4 x 500GB and am running out of space

    Re: HDD Cache

    i think it highly depends on usage, but if the differnce is minimal e.g £1 extra id say go for it.

    and seriously 2TB? running out of space? i have 1.2 and im 'ok' at the mo!

    Yeah, I realise the price difference isn't that much, but I was curious to see if the extra money spent actually makes a performance difference.

    I just wish the 1TB drives were cheaper... I would whack 4 of them in my PC instead
