The really funny thing is that I have at least two drives with 2MiB cache that beat the WD360GD-00FLA1 for 1MiB random reads.
These include an ST340014A (firmware 3.04) and an HDS722580VLAT20 (even with AAM on, it ties with the Raptor in that test). Although small differences (even for the ST380013AS (firmware 3.18)), I still consider them notable as it makes little sense that any of those would beat the second-generation Raptor in any test.
By the way, my use of MiB is intentional.
