8mb cache more important than size?
Alright all,
I'm on the look out for a new hard drive, apart from size, obviously, how important are other things, like the difference between 2mb and 8mb cache, and getting a drive with 7200rpm?
How much real world effect will an 8mb cache drive have over a 2mb cache drive?
I have my eye on either the Samsung SpinPoint 120gb or the 160gb. Now, the 160gb drive is only £11 more expensive, and well worth it, but the 160gb drive has 2mb cache while the smaller 120gb drive has 8mb. All other drive specs are identical.
Opinions please.
