bustersnyvel writes "Tom's Hardware Guide has a nice article about Maxtor's new 300 GB DiamondMax harddisk. " The question is - will the drive perform despite having only 2mb of cache, and running at 5400 rpm?

Yes it only runs at 5400rpm...
...but as a timesaver, it comes with its own RIAA and MPAA subpoenas attached.

I've been watching HDD sizes for a while, and they seem to be narrowly beating Moore's law (15-16 months instead of 18.) So if we say we have 300GB today, with 100GB commonplace then I would say we will hit 1TB in about 27 months, with regular drives taking just over fourty months.
