difference in 4200RPM and 5400RPM?

[Sniper82]

In laptop hard drives? Will I see much difference going from a 5400RPM to 4200RPM?

HUGE difference. Bigger difference than going from 5400 to 7200, imho.

yup get the fastest you can

BTW both are about a 30-35% increase in speed.

Definitely. Well worth paying for the faster drive, or giving up a little space to make it happen.
