Talking about the IBM TravelStar 40 GNX Series (http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=351)....it has an 8 MB cache buffer, the Toshiba 40 GNX Model (http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=409) has the same characteristics but has a 16 MB cache buffer and sells for $30 more than the IBM, is the extra cache buffer worth the $30 ???
