HD speed comparisons?

[farns]

1st the 8mb cache Western Digitals. I heard they are noticeably faster than other 7200 rpm HDs that have 2mb cache, anyone seen any benchies or noticed any difference 1st hand?
Also does the slower seek time of the Seagates make them any noticeably slower than Maxtors?

Do all three brands take 150 fsb overclocks ok?

Yes this is first hand experience. I just bought my 800JB this past weekend. The 8mb cache does absolute wonders with transfer rates and burst rates! Did benchmark comparisons using HDTach and the older norton utilities. I was using two 7200 2mb drives before, an ibm and another western digital. Also very quiet, i can't hear anything at all when the drive is accessing data... even when my ear is right next to it.
