5400 or 7200 RPM HDD in a new MBP?
I need help deciding between 5400 RPM and 7200 RPM HDD in a new 15" MPB. What are the tradeoffs? Will the 7200 drive make a significant difference when backing up 500GB of data to an external drive? I'm not a gamer; I do a considerable amount of photo editing and intend to load basic architectural design SW on my machine. More than cost, I'm concerned about the additional heat generated by a 7200, as well as the impact to battery life. If there's a good tutorial out there that addresses these questions and others please point me in the right direction. thx
