2mb cache vs 8mb cache?
I have a Maxtor 120gb (2mb cache) installed as my master. It is partitioned
78.3gb:36.1gb. I also gave a 30gb slave (Full). I just bought another Maxtor 120gb (8mb cache). Both Drives are Maxtor DiamondMax 9. Should I use the new drive as the Boot - Primary/Master? Will I see any increase in performance that would warrant me from putting in all this time. Backups and reinstalling everything could take me over a week or should I just use the new drive as a slave. Is there much difference between 2mb vs 8mb cache? Some System Specs to consider: MB: ECS K7S5A CPU: XP1800 RAM: 1gb PC2100, 266MHz OS: WinXP Pro Steve |
