Storage Solutions Need the part no of this Hard Disk!

[x86]

I want to know the part number of the 7200.10 320 gb 1 mb cache model.
I'm pretty much confused because i saw the pic of appos hard disk as ST3320820AS and Eazy's article says its the 8 mb one.
if thats the case why he bought the 8 mb one? is it the 8mb or 1 mb one?

820 is 8MB, 620 is 16MB. Not that the extra cache makes any difference

3320820AS This I think translates to

3 = 3.5"
320 = 320GB
8 = buffer size
2 = number of platters
0 = not sure - but I think it indicates the height of the HDD
AS = dunno

OK came across this long thread on these 320GB drives .... check it out if you have time... check out post no 146 for a picture of the silent version of this drive...
