I'm now using a 4200 RPM HHD, but I'd like to switch to a faster one. Which one should I take? 5400, 7200 or 10000 RPM? I guess the faster they are the more heat they produce, right? And what about vibrations, would they increase a lot? (I don't really sense any now, with my 4200 RPM).
 
I dont think they make 10K laptop drives, but i could be wrong.

I would upgrade to a 7200RPM drive, since you woult notice more improvement than a 5400RPM drive. However, they do get a little hotter, they are slightly noisier, and they eat up more battery (when there spinning at there max speed).
 
Yeah, I just did some looking around myself (thank you Preator for your nice 101) and decided to go for a 7200 RPM aswell.
I found this Hitachi hdd: 100GB, 7200 RPM, 8MB cache, looks good doesn't it?

*Edit:

By the way, if I'd replace the hdd drive I have now with a new one, would I be able to copy the hidden partition aswell? It has the Windows install files on it so would be kinda handy.
