Western Digitals w/ 8MB cache

[hoytron]

I was just looking into a new hard drive, and I saw that Western Digital now has smaller hard drives with 8MB cache. They used to just have the 120GB model, which I know performs very well, but now they have 80 and 100GB models out. Does anybody know if they perform as well as the 120GB model? I'm very interested in buying one for the performance, as I don't need 120GB of space, nor would I like to spend $200. Any input would be great.

I would think all sizes should perform roughly the same, the smaller (80GIG) may even run a tad faster than the 120GIG. These are great drives.
