7200 VS 5400 RPM hard drives

Which is better if they both have 1.5 GB/S transfer speeds

What kind of retarded question is that? Which do you fucking think is better?

The higher the RPM, the faster data can be read off the platters. So, a 7200 rpm HDD performs better than a 5400 rpm one.

even though the transfer speed is the same?

just makin sure i'm getting an alienware and i'm trying to chave any extra money off of the cost

>>i'm getting an alienware

Fail. GTFO.

What is wrong with you, man? Drive spins faster, drive can access data faster. 1.5Gbps is the theoretical transfer rate of the SATA connection; you will not ever get that much from any drive currently available.

OOO so thats theorectical transfer speed thats what i thoguht the actual was.  so yes the 7200 would be the better choice.  Any word about what  the actual would be and the actual difference betwen the two would be?

I could be utterly, tragically wrong, but I would think that the larger benefit from increased RPM is in seek time, followed by transfer rate. If you want to know this for a particular drive, just benchmark it or use fucking Google.

It depends on the file size, small files benefit more from the seek time, while large files benefit from the transfer rate.

PROTIP: Keep hard drive defragmented.

PROTIP: I was referring to which saw more benefit from a faster spindle, not which was more important.

There is no need to buy a slow 5400rpm drive anymore.  It's old technology.
Also, the transfer rate of 1.5GB/s or 3.0GB/s (SATA and SATAII, respectively) is a misnomer.  No drive can actually throw that much data out at once.  It's just the CONNECTION that can SUPPORT that amount of data.  It's like using a 8mbps internet connection on a NIC that supports 10/100/1000.  That internet connection won't go that fast.
Understand?

Use an ATA 33/66 cable like me and you're all set.
