I actually saw a noticeable difference just from increasing the hard drive cache size from 2 MB to 8 MB. If that's enough to cause a noticeable difference, then I have to assume that going from 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM should provide an even greater benefit. I'd go for it, if you have the money.

Any thoughts on the 120 gig/5400 drive option? Does the extra room to write to boost performance?
