How to find HD cache

Mattu · 12-31-2006, 06:00 PM

I was wandering how to find how big the cache is on my hard drive. I pulled it out of a 2004 Compaq Presario and it's the one in "My Desktop" link in my sig.

Will Speed Fan tell me how big my HD cache is, is there something in Windows system properties, or is it written on the HD itself somewhere?

Thanks

It'll be written on the hard drive. What's the model number of the drive?

It's an 80 GB, Samsung SP0802N

EDIT: I did some googleing and found this: SP0802N Specs. Is the buffer the same as the cache?

Thanks again
