Re: Difference between read and find

read() sets the data in the model, find() does not.
http://api.cakephp.org/class_model.html#da9914325847e7a03320eafb691208da

I.e.
$Model->find();
echo $Model->data; // empty

$Model->read();
echo $Model->data; // not empty

Personally I never use read() either.
