Hi,
I've just checked on the drive in question, ie the Seagate ST31720A, and the technical specifications from the company state that the hard drive has in fact a 128K cache buffer.
I got this from the Seagate homepage at
http://www.seagate.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?/at/st31720a.txt
So there is no "problem" with the drive. Interesting, though. A similar problem occurs on the probing of certain Quantum models of EIDE drives. Anyone faced similar problems with other drives ?
