Now, that's a truly astounding price for a Quantum 105.  One question, though:

  Does anybody know if the Q105 comes with the RAM cache by default?  My LaCie
is built on that drive, and it has a cache.  Is that something LaCie added?
Does LaCie do anything else different and exciting to the mechanism, like
changing the ROMs or something?

I'm sorely tempted to buy one of these drive!!
