Default Re: HDD 16mb cache vs 32mb cache

why stop at 32MB cache, the 64MB cache drives are about the same price now. They are SATA III as well (6Gb/sec)

Shop at newegg.com, they usually have free 3 day shipping.

be sure to have a backup drive.

Newegg has a good deal on Re-certified Mybook Home external drives with the Tri interface (USB, Firewire, and eSata)
I bought a recert. mybook about 4 years ago and its still going strong, so i just bought another one.

if you dont trust a recert. then buy another Black or Blue Caviar and put it in an external case like this:

these even come with an eSata bracket in case your PC does not have a eSata port. I have 2 of these and they are nice. The fan is quiet, and can be turned off, if its still too loud for you.


And you should have a dock as well, these come in handy when you have several drives with different backups sitting on a shelf.

and if you dont already have it, get acronis true image home 2011. I suggest getting the Plus pack add on.
