Why 5400 rpm when you can get a 7200 rpm for usuaal not much more and the boot/load times are noticeably better?


Load times are better by maybe a fraction of a second
That's really no difference And it doesn't make it better when lobbies still load when they load
And you go with 5400rpms so you don't easily over heat

Two reasons. A console bottlenecks at the CPU and heat dissipation.

Having a faster seek time will see very fractional improvement since the bottle neck is at the CPU. This is why a SSH isn't really worth it either.

And heat. There is currently a 5400 rpm in there. A 7200 rpm will produce more heat. Making the average temp higher.
