5400 or 7200

[MDFusion]

will i see the differences between these RPM speeds on hard drives?

 

[ProjectPat]

yes, definitely, if you're running the os off it, a 7200 is a much faster boot!

and also, now the price difference has gone down significantly, so there's little reason not to jump for the 7200rpm unless you're on a really tight budget

You can expect to pay about 20% more from what I've seen...

thx, i was lookin at 2 hard drives Maxtor Fireball plus AS and the Seagate Barracuda III

what would be the best choice overall out of these,the prices are about the same

this gets asked like every week...no offense...get the 7200rpm; you won't regret it...
