Is a 7200 rpm strong drive better than a 5400 rpm?

Is a 7200 rpm strong drive better than a 5400 rpm?

hell yea
Most conspicuously! If you get a SATA, gross sure it's not OEM...
yes.

but if your thinking for a laptop remeber this:

5400 is slower but does not drain your battery much

7200 is faster but also strains your mobile
Yes, the faster it spins the faster the data can be read. You also want to look at the ATA speed (100, 133, etc.)...the difficult the better.
The number denoted how fast the disc spins inside the drive. The faster the number, the faster background on the disc can be accessed. Other factor come into play as well, such as the amount and type of RAM you enjoy and processor speed. For the average home computer and average user and 5200rpm drive will be sufficient, and will set free you some cash as powerfully.
a newer ATA/100 5400 RPM hard disk (HD) is almost as hastily as a 7200 RPM ATA/100, and faster than an older 7200 RPM ATA/66. I own also heard a sale person or two claim matching thing. This merely doesn't seem right to me, since rotational speed is a big factor within not only finding the background on a disk, but also getting it off the disk. So as usual I granted to see for myself. I used three Western Digital HDDs – a 200BB ATA/100 7200 RPM, a 100EB ATA/100 5400 RPM and a 102BA ATA/66 7200 RPM.



It has be said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so let’s let the "pictures" (actually HD Tach graphs surrounded by this case) speak first
It's faster, but it is hard to speak whether that means "better" for your specific requirements or not.
Much faster transfer speeds!;-)=
faster access...BUT...

In a laptop...sucks up battery-operated life
