    Hello,
    My hard drive is 120 GB SATA 2.5" Seagate 5400RPM, would there be any changes in performance if I would insert a 7200RPM disk ?
    Thanks for your help!

    a replacement harddrive with 7200 or 10000 rpm, a bigger cache and a faster access time will result in better performance

    Yeah I'm thinking about getting a bigger one with 7200 RPM and 16MB cache.
    10000 RPM hard drives are very expensive. I wouldn't like to spend that much money...

    And more heat and less battery life.
