In your case it may not make a difference because EAC looked up your drive on its database and read that it did not have a cache. Therefore checking or unchecking it will not make any difference because your drive is reported to not have a cache. Now I don't know offhand when drives started coming out with caches, so I could be wrong and it could be that every drive produced for the past 5 years has a cache. But even so, I believe you'd never see much of a difference until you encountered a damaged track. Have you seen where those little red boxes come up indicating re-reads? Well if it was reading from the cache you would never get those. So use a track that you know is damaged and produces this, then play around with the option. A clean track will not produce re-reads anyway, so you wouldn't be able to tell. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20908 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
