Newer Hard Drives with Caches...

#1 Post by aahhaaa »

just wondering if anybody can hold forth on the newer HDs that are advertised 'with 8 Meg cache' etc. EIDE and all that. anything we should know about it when using Puppy?

HD with big cashes

#2 Post by Ted Dog »

You can really tell, I have a EIDE 250G w/16M cashe, copy usr_cram.fs in about 2 seconds to RAM, I have it playing multiple movies on different machines as a uPnP server with geexbox, can't tell anything changed when viewing different movie from HD, for grins I watched three star wars movies I backed up to my HD at the same time, two local on puppy and one on my GeexBox to the projector. not a drop noted (sound was hard to follow) but the light sabor fights where fun. Love the part where Yoda goes medival on count Dukko
