or better me buy 2.4 cheapest hard drive option , buy 7200rpm hard drive somewhere else faster? best bang buck..

if buy hard drive elsewhere 1 best under 160$?

order asap please help

 

the changes list miniscule. rule out 7.2k hdd if lot of heavy cs5 & final cut pro work 7.2k might make sense - (indeed lesser) increase of cpu clock.

work describe think both perform equally biggest push upgrading ram if heavy cs5 & final cut pro user.

7.2k quite bit faster 5400 notice when dealing applications use hdd lot.

otoh feel increased cpu clock, although percentage of less.

think same
