I was thinking of upgrading the hard drive on my laptop from this

Toshiba MK4026GAX (40gb, 16mb cache)

to this

SAMSUNG HM120JC (120gb, 8mb cache)

The Toshiba is the one that came with my dell. While the main reason I am upgrading is to get more space to store things, I was a little worried about the decrease in cache size. Is the smaller cache going to mean a slower drive? Will it be offset by the higher data density on the Samsung?
 
You shouldn't be able to notice a difference between them, but i am suprised that a 40GB hard drive came with a 16MB cache normally they use smaller ones on smaller hard drives.
