[GRLUG] USB 3, SATA - 6Gbps

[Bob Kline]

Some people apparently feel it's
ambiguous as to how much the
larger caches on hard drives help
throughput.

I'd of thought it would be a clear win.

Any thoughts here?

Otherwise, that's quite a drive.

"Green," not black.  What does that
mean in general?

Good price though.
