I have some Seagate 80Gb, 7200rpm hard drives I'm upgrading and selling off, how can I find out the cache size of the drives that I have already?

I know they will be either 2Mb or 8Mb but how to tell... TIA

433104 2006-02-23 06:41:00 get the model details off the drive's sticker and either google or search the seagate site bartsdadhomer (80)
433105 2006-02-23 06:42:00 well everest (www.majorgeeks.com) so the details (if still in a machine running windows).

Otherwise seagate's website has a good search tool if you locate the model number. Throw it in the search box and it will reveal all, even drives from way back...

If you are nice give them a run through with seatools, so you know they don't have bad blocks, etc.
