I have three drives and I'm buying a fourth with 16MB of disk buffer aka disk cache aka cache buffer but I want to find out what the others are.

I don't want to take the drives out and look at them if I don't have to. Is there a way to do this through BIOS or some Vista utility?

I looked in the Boot menu and found the names of the 3 drives. One I was able to find out had 8MB cache but these other two I couldn't find anything.

WDC WD800EB-00DJP0 80GB
Quantum Fireball LCT15 30GB

WD800EB 2MB
LCT15 512KB

I'm curious how you were able to figure that out.

Used Google to hit WD support, then the model specs.
Used Google to find a review of the Quantum.
Thanks for the Thumb.

it is an excellent utility and it will tell you the model, size and cache of your hard drives, plus heaps of other information.
