hard drive 5400 vs 7200

[michaelslc]

Hi,
I'm looking at buying a:
XOTIC / SAGER NP2090 ( COMPAL IFL90 ) Intel Core 2 DUO / 15.4" WS/XGA
I've been told that in general the 7200 drives are a little faster but less reliable and durable, and run down the batter a little faster.
I was looking particularly at the Seagate momentus 160 GB drive.
Would appreciate info and recs,
Mike

with 9 cell battery, 7200 would be a better choice at my opinion..
fast accessing to files on HD. your laptop wont be slow down.
I've just ordered the ifl90 with 120 GB 7200rpm, probably the best choice.

I agree with Pat :) 7200 is highly recommended.
