heheh.. silly consumers and their number games...
Just make sure you buy 2 of them so you can back up the first one.. would not be fun to lose 400gb of data..

If the difference in performance between 16mb buffer and 8mb buffer (which i currently have) is as large as between 8 and 2mb buffers, then I'd hardly call it silly.
I'm still using an old Western Digital 80gb drive with 8mb cache, but it keeps making a clicking noise every few days which worries me. I'ts done that for years, though.
If that 400gb is so cheap, i'm hopeful i could find a 200gb drive (all i'd really need/want anyhow) for even cheaper.
