So I'm looking at couple of Maxtor hard drives...I was wondering what you experts think is a better value....

Maxtor 200GB 7200rpm 8mb cache ata-133 = $165 after tax

or Maxtor 120GB 7200rpm 2mb cache ata-133 = $84 after tax

Both are the DiamondMax brands. Has anyone one of these, also which is better...and does 8mb cache really matter if you are not using the drive as primary master?

I am skeptical of such a large capacity and am worried it may go bad or something, but my worries so far are unfounded and silly.

Thanks all for the help you have given in the past!
