Have a look here.

http://talkplaystation.com/7200rpm-vs-5400rpm-hard-drive/
But i think that the latest Seagate Momentus 500gb 7200rpm and 16mb may have some noticeable reduced load times.
In my case that i changed back in 2007 the shipped 5400rpm 60gb with a 7200rpm 160gb......naaahhh wasnt worth it.

SDF-GR, I assume that the sites that you provided have the same info that I had read. 7200 provided little to no improvement and does not justify the price increase over 5400 rpm. I just upgraded to the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320gig. It was so easy. Wish I had done it years ago.

I'm not downing you links in any way. I cant look at them from work as gamming sites are blocked. I "assumed" that they had @ the same info as the reports that I had read on 5400 vs 7200 on the PS3.
