Macbook Pro 15" HDD memory cache

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out by telling me the memory cache on the 500GB - 5,400 RPM HDD inside the 2.0 GHz MBP i7..?

Thanks

I would guess 8MB.
5400rpm drives always have 8MB without any exception worth mentioning.

Thank you!

So what 500GB HDD @ 7200 RPM would you recommend, and are there 500GB, 7200 RPM HDD out there with 64 MB cache?
