      You can use an IBM Deathstar for a paperweight,
      but the WD will function as a hard drive. Go with
      a WD if you care about your data.

              FLACO It's not the A/C. I'm talking too much & need to keep the papers from blowing around.

                    is there a prefered amount of gb's in the wd 8mb caches?
                    is the 80 100 or 120 faster ?

                      From what I understand they are similar. Note: I do not use my fingers to type as my hands are in casts. Use chopsticks at the moment.

                          After having a bout of foot in mouth disease, had to switch to hands - OUCH. With chopsticks, I can be further from the keyboard.

                              Nerv, There isn't a preferred amount of gb's their speed is more or less the same the difference is in the capacity and what you pay for it.
                              However, Maxtor have come out with a new line of hard disks of good performance with 8mb cache on them they are now selling a 320 Gb disk.
                              These disks are fast enough and support ATA 133. I know that it is not much an improvement over ATA 100 but it does give you a slight improvement in speed. I've seen serial ATA at work and I think it will still take at least 6 months until they will really be worth considering (I'd wait for the second generation).
