7200 desktop drive vs 7200 lappy drive?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
If Im coming from a 7.2k rpm drive on my desktop, will I notice any difference between that one and a lappy 7.2k rpm drive? What about a 5.4k rpm lappy?

If you look at the specs, the desktop drives usually can do 8ms seeks while laptop drives go only as fast as 10ms

Also

I did a benchmark a long time ago of my toshiba 5400rpm and it averaged 27MB/s or so
I've also seen other benchmarks for 7200rpm Hitachis that are around 33-34MB/s

Compare that to an average of 54MB/s for the latest generation of high density desktop PATA drives
