At the apple store the 300GB 4200 rpm is more than the 200GB 7200.
# 250GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
# 300GB Serial ATA @ 4200 rpm [Add $75.00]
# 200GB Serial ATA @ 7200 rpm [Add $50.00]
Does that mean they're about just as fast? Or is there not that big a difference. I'm going to buy a MacBook Pro and edit with Final Cut Pro so I need as much speed as I can get. Is having the 7200rpm going to make a big difference if the hard drive isn't as big? Is that how it works? (I'll be using an external hard drive as well to add 500GB of storage)
Thanks!!! Great site by the way.
