what do we mean faster....

we know that it has a FASTER Platter Speed, but does it also has a faster data transfer.

what do i emphasize here. is how much performance gain is upgrading from 5200rpm to a 7200rpm har drive..
Most 7200 spin HDs have both a better avg. seek time and data transfer rate than 5400 spin HDs. The new 10,000 spin HD from WD nearly halfs avg. seek time and nearly doubles data transfer speeds.
