72,000 Rpm vs. 10,000

I personaly haven't compared the two types, but most of my friends
swear by the difference. Most would never go back to a 72,000 rpm.

Yes. The 10,000 RPM WD Raptor SATA HD performs significantly better than any of
the 7200 RPM SATA drives.

I have (and still) run 10K RPM SATA and SCSI drives. I won't go back.

I'd love to go from my 10,000rpm drive to a 72,000rpm one! :)

72,000 RPM HDs don't yet exist; but if they did, they'd be fast!
Hey, I got it, even if the rest of them didn't.

I run 15K SCSI drives. They're a lot quieter than the 10K drives I used to run
but I think I could cook breakfast on them....
It's also possible that my 10K drives were older generation tech.

Definitely there is a difference. The 10,000 rpm can read the sectors
faster than the 7200 rpm drive, although usually with more noise. The
10,000 rpm is the better choice for database servers. With a larger
buffer cache, a slow drive can have a good boost in performance.
