The Western Digital JB line have 8 MB of buffer, and actually perform similarly to 10k RPM SCSI drives.
Taken from the conclusion of the review on StorageReview WD recently added an 80 GB model with this buffer, so they are available in capacities of 80, 100 and 120 GB. While no details are given, it could be that these are the 120 GB drives used by Apple.

These folks want the performance of a 10k RPM SCSI drive without the SCSI premium. The WD1200JB, like the WD1000BB-SE, delivers the desktop performance of a good 10k RPM drive according to tests constructed from real-world, high-level applications. If you want SCSI's performance without its price or capacity limits, the WD1200JB is the drive for you.
