The DiamondMax 10 has 16MB cache, but I've heard many good things about the Seagate, which one? Also, are there any good hard drives with a little less storage (so I can save some money ).

Welp, 200GB models are available which are also nice since they do not have more platters than necessary (100GB density x 2). But check out hot deals 'n' fatwallet.

The Maxtor will be faster, the Seagate will be quieter (and probably more reliable). So it's really up to you. I personally would rather have the 16mb cache under my belt.
