Not to hijack your thread but I was wondering, about exactly how big difference there is in overall speed and performance between 7200rpm and and 5200rpm?
MBs use 2,5 HDDs right? I wonder if all these drives, even across manufactureres and storage capacity have the same weight. If you would upgrade your MB would it be possible that the HDD would become more heavy?
a 250 GB HDD weighs more than a 160 GB HDD for example?
