New Hard Drive

[AL BE]

I am looking to buy a new 200 gb SATA 150 hard drive. What is the best brand to buy.

RoD

Soon there'll be no Maxtor anymore too refer to... Otherwise, I never had problems with mine... Pick Seagate, they're quiet...

Western Digital

Can't beat em...

I was thinking about getting this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148066
Is there any real performance difference between 16mb cache or 8mb.

I prefer Seagate, but if you getting a hard drive, might as well get a 250GB, they are just as expensive:

Seagate 250GB

or if you have SATA 2

WD 250GB 16MB Buffer
