@wolfkabal: Such is the case with the "slim" drives. Just about ever yone I have seen is the standard 2.5" laptop drive running at a measily 5400 RPM. I would love to get a 1TB slim 2.5" external at 7200 RPM but that's hard to come by. I usualy have to resort to a 3.5" standard size HDD external to get the 7200 RPM…
