[QUOTE="Igantius, post: 396491, member: 31355"] Barefeats ran some speed tests on internal drives which people might find useful - [url]http://www.barefeats.com/mbcd7.html[/url] It found differences between manufacturers and in terms of energy consumption, 5400rpm drives were most efficient. Also, it concluded that as drives were filled up, 4200rpm drives became comparatively faster. I know that they were tested on MBP, but I don't think it was off tangent to post here - and any case, i'm a first time poster so cut me some slack :D [/QUOTE]
