How exactly does performence increase 10% while only spinning at 5400rpm? Is that compared to standard 7200rpm drives or is that compared to other 5400rpm drives? I feel like Im missing some important piece of information here. As far as the drive being "green", thats the absolute last thing I look for in my components.
