I believe this has always been the case going back to the 7200.8 seagates. In fact I'm using a 16 meg cache 7200.3(?) SV35 now and it works absolutely perfectly. 16 meg cache sure isn't needed for anything, but if it's all that's available then it shouldn't matter... if the drive is otherwise compatible. Honestly I have no reason to even care but it's unfair to hapless noobs (and cow) to propagate that myth especially now that ATA drives are getting so scarce. It's apparently a case of too many (at least two) giving advice on something they have zero experience with.
