a 16mb cache on the 7200rpm Maxline III drives bring them up to competive levels with some supiorer compared to the Raptor 10k drives.

Thanks for your reply, Crashman

So, in the end, if one is buying a new hard drive, it makes sense to pop a bit more cash and get a bigger cache. In my case, I use some applications that lean on the disk heavily on occasion. It sounds like a bigger cache might shorten some of the wait times.

Thanks a lot for your reply to my question. It's appreciated.
