Thanks for your help everyone...as it's obvious here as well that the 8 MB cache opinions are varying.
I learned later on today that WD/Maxtor and the other hd makers are introducing a 10000 rpm Serial ATA drive with 16MB cache. No dobut it will be expensive, but for what it's worth cheap is the way to go right now.
By the way, both of these deals are at Best buy (120 gb) and Comp usa (200gb) incase anyone was wondering. Cheers
