I ran Feurio Cache Test on my two drives so as to setup EAC Drive Options correctly.
I am seeking insight on the outcome of the tests below:

and

SNIP

Cache size for audio data: 860 kByte
It looks to me that both are above the 64kb cache requirement for the EAC cache option.
I have yet to run a C2 test, but the above results say both drive can return C2 pointers.
