Raid on SATA Maxtor 16mb cache and 8mb
I have a SATA150 200gb Maxtor with 8mb cache if I get another one to go into raid should I get same one or one with 16mb cache. Will it really matter or will the one with 8mb cache just bottleneck the one with 16mb in raid?
__________________SATA150 200gb Maxtor 8mb cache + SATA150 200gb Maxtor 8mb cache in Raid 0 or SATA150 200gb Maxtor 8mb cache + SATA150 200gb Maxtor 16mb cache in Raid 0

Raid will use the slower of the 2 drives, get 2x16mb cache and use the 8mb as a storage drive.

YES cache makes a huge difference...you need to make sure the drives match, theres no reason in getting one drive faster and one drive slower..its like running 2 different ram sticks...doesnt overclock and run well does it?

 I got the 8mb cache 200gb but could have gotten the same one with 16mb cache for 5$ more oh well ...... when Ill upgrade I'll get the same 8mb cache and make it RAID... Seems fast to me right now ..upgrading from IDE...
