Geoffman Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The best way is to get the model number and look at the Seagate site and it will tell you the amount of cache for the drive. Generally with Seagate drives the AS series have 16 MB cache, whilst the more expensive NS series drives, which are supposedly meant as RAID/server drives have 32 MB.

Maurice_King Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Seagate has a Drive tool on their site from memory that will interogate the HD and give you it's information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffman Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Yeah they do, called Seatools. But if he's gonna go to the Seagate site to get the tool, why not just look up the drive specs instead of downloading, burning the tool to a bootable CD, then rebooting to use the tool?
