or

Western Digital Caviar RE 160GB 1600YS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM


Is the Cache level all that important Any comments welcome (unless they rude )

Seagate 7200.10, 200Gb. It's a bit more than the 7200.9 but it's a fair bit faster than either of the two you've listed.

The size of the cache isn't going to make a huge difference in real world scenarios.

Ah yes i did look at that one, didnt notice it was faster tbh (teach me to stay up late browsing half-asleep) only a few more £'s and that i can live with, cheers.
