    Its already out, but you wont notice the difference between a 8mb cache and 16mb cache drive, so just get the 7200rpm.

    Sorry, i forgot that you are using a laptop, i dont know if 16MB cache for the laptop is out, but what i meant to say was even if it was out, it wouldnt make a noticable difference to the reading speed, i meant just get the 7200rpm 8mb cache drive. That should do perfect.
