looks like the right thread for this - opinions anyone?

if the choice is a 20GB 7200rpm or a 5400 25GB (and the extra 5 GBs isn't essential at this time) which and WHY?

I guess this is really asking, why would I want a 7200 rpm HD versus a 5400rpm, and how much extra should I be willing to pay? If access and seek speeds are comparable, is the platter rpm just for smoother video, or is there another ("essential") reason I would want to get a 7200?

Thanks in advance
