I have a 4100 that, given some new info I'd read in the 'Confusion' thread, I thought I'd try to get to recognize a 300GB drive. (If so, I'll buy 3 more.) I'm sticking with Seagate as they have a 5-year warranty, but I see I now have a choice between one with 8MB cache and a model with 16MB cache.

I believe the 4100 only has a 10MBit network interface, is this correct? Given that limitation, would it provide a performance increase to use drives with 16MB cache memory?

Just curious...
