5400 vs 7200rpm notebook drive.
My 160gig notebook hard drive is filling up, actually filled up to the point I have to delete movies once in a while..
So looking to get a larger drive, most likely a 640gb drive as it seems good value for money.
My question is, should I go for the 5400 or 7200rpm drive?
Price isn't a concern, however power consumption is.
Does the 7200 use much more power? Is it much faster?
FYI- it seems it's cheaper to buy a 2.5" 1TB USB Drive, compared to just the drive itself???
