I guess RAM is now cheap enough to just dump loads of it on drives. It won't do any good for STR, but it might help a bit over 8MB cache for 'more random' access.
I hope the reliability of this drive is better than the previous 250GB one (as according to the storagereview reliability database figures for it). -
Meanwhile I am using a 40GB 2MB cache drive lol...Comment
