Does all IBM 75GXP model HDs have 2MB cache?

I'm in the market for one but someone told me that theres 2 different models. One has 2MB cache and one has 512k. Is this true? is that why some OEM drives are $50 cheaper?

Oem drives have 2 mb cache as well. The oens with less cash are the 5400 rpm models. I may be wrong so feel free to flame me but this is the extent of my info.

Yes, all IBM 75GXP (OEM or Retail) have 2MB cache. I have OEM ones from both Buy.com and Onvia and both have 2MB cache.
