[QUOTE="mcsenerd, post: 96358, member: 9677"] Heat may very well have been a consideration...however I feel pretty strongly that it was simply a matter of economics. Look...many of the 40 Gb drives are actually 5400 RPM drives? Why? Well...they're cheaper to source than 40 Gb 4200 RPM drives...therefore...poof! Congratulations...you get a 5200 RPM 40 Gb drive! I actually imagine that Apple will include a 7200 RPM drive whenever they do a revision of the Mini...but of course...I'm just guessing. [/QUOTE]
