I'm currently looking at 2 hard drives:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145174

Which should I pick or are neither very good?

Will the increase in price and loss of space be worth it?

That depends on how much you need the space. If you don't need it very much, 7200 is better than 5400, and you should definitely get it.

Click to expand...

If you are looking for pure space, no it wouldn't be.. But for the speed/performance gain it gives, I'd personally sacrifice the 20Gbs.

I went with the 5400rpm, so far so good.
