i'd stick with the 7200 rpm's, if performance matters the most.. the ata 133 really isn't as important as the rpm speed.. just my .02.. however, i installed a 5400 rpm in my buddy's xbox and the games on his hdd still load faster than games on dvd. and i'm a cheapy scape too! haha.. so i'd go with a 5400 rpm.. so inevitably, its up to you if that performance boost is worth the extra pennies.. peace seamonkey420
Yeah i doubt it matters. Original xbox hd's are 5400(i think) and loading games off their is just as quick as my 7200 hd. Go for the cheaper because the difference in performance will be small if any. Also some people worry about overheating with the 7200(even though im not)but thats just another reason to go for cheap.
