Looking for a harddrive and found 2 similar but they were both £69, only thing was, one was 8mb cache and one was 16mb cache... is it best to go with the 16mb cache??

thanks

If their the same price I would get the 16Mb cache

Bigger is generally better - but it might not be very significant.

It they are close in price, I would go for the 16Mb cache one.

My last 4 hard drives have all been 16Mb cache versions.
