[QUOTE="a1laserboy, post: 314954, member: 22852"] I think you'd be better off getting the smaller 7200 rpm option if you are going to be using external drives to keep your data on. The extra storage of the slower drive won't be an issue. Data transfer is faster, so in theory it should boot quicker and launch programmes faster etc. One downside though is it might be a bit noisier and use more power and get hotter. There is plenty of info out there that shows 7200 rpm is better - just google it :) [/QUOTE]
