[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 178686, member: 15110"] The RPM's are better, imo. Tom's Hardware has a good test against the drive with the 16mb cache. 5400 is a good improvement over 4200 rpm; get 7200rpm if you can. 7200rpm will only drop your battery life by about 5 minutes, although it may increase the heat. Seagate and Hitachi both make excellent 7200rpm models. [/QUOTE]
