^^ Is that extra 16MB cache just another marketting ploy?
Personally i wouldnt buy a 2mb cache drive anymore - 8mb cache upwards for me but it depends on what you do with your computer to judge how much the performance depends on your hard drives cache.

Check the performance database at www.storagereview.com and consider which of the tests applies best to your daily computer work.

ps: innovative thread re-use
