Yeah, I'd love to put a 7200rpm drive in my Mini .. especially if the Mini comes with an 80GB 4200rpm drive. But thats the whole thing .. the larget 2.5" 7200rpm drive right now is the 60GB by Hitachi .. A) I need LOTS of space and B) I've never used Hitchi hard drives before ... not sure how reliable they are and how they perform.
I really wish Seagate's 100GB, or even their 80GB was 7200rpm, cause Seagate provides a 5 year warranty, which is really nice.
Wraven: About the heat ... I haven't heard anything bad about putting a 7200rpm drive in a Mini. It might just mean that the fan may run a little more often? Have you read any articles or forums that 7200rpm drives in Mini's are trouble? People put these drives in iBooks and PowerBooks all the time. Not much of a difference between the iBook, PowerBook and Mini...
