What are you basing that statement on? I've looked at the power specs on the Hitachi 7200 RPM drives and don't think they consume any more power than most 5200 RPM drives.

Barefeats found that upgrading from 4200rpm to 5400rpm doesn't use really affect battery performance and that the gain from 5400rpm to 7200rpm is not very significant. You might want to just get a decent sized 5400rpm drive.
