Re: New External Drive

I have an other concerning this new drive about the read cache.

When the case Clear Read Cache with FUA is crosschecked it is mentionned after the test of Drive Read Cache :

"Drive not appear to cache, no cache clearing will be used"
"Detected cache size : OKb (0 frames)

And when the case Clear Read Cache with FUA is NOT crosschecked it is mentionned after the same test :

"Drive appears to cache, moving onto detection"
"Detected cache size : 1173Kb (511 frames)

So what it is the best to use ?

Drive Read Cache : O Kb
Fua : Yes

OR

Drive Read Cache : 1173 Kb
Fua : no

Sorry for all my questions
Thanks
Thierry

For a Plextor use FUA and no cache.
