Dumb question:does the buffer buffer within the hard drive and the
rest of the comp or the hard drive and itself (aka is it like the
[ever growing] cpu cache or RAM of a computer)?

hi,

I'm about to upgrade the hard drive in my gateway m275 (1.4 pentium m,
256mb ram) and i was looking around and i saw that there are a few
drives on the market with 16mb buffers (mainly the toshiba MK5024GA).
i was wondering, does this realy help, or is it overkill?



thanks for the help,

dan
