I recently got a Mac Mini PPC 1.25 with a 4200 RPM ATA 40 GB HDD. Is there an
advantage to putting in a 7200 RPM ATA HDD? I know they're a little scarce but
if it increases performance it's worth a try.

yes, in my experience with
John,
The 7200 RPM drives have faster seek times. There may also be a
higher Bus speed and a larger buffer, making data access, transfer
and use by software more rapid.
So far as price, cyberguys.com has Western Digital IDE/ATA drives in
3.5 diameter. These have the 7200 RPM speed you're

My experience with PowerBooks was that going fron 4200 to 7200 had a noticeable
increase in speed and a noticeable decrease in battery life. I think on a Mini
you would like the results.

Cyberguys also has 2.5 drives, but all of the drives in this size,
IDE/ATA and SATA, are 5400 RPM. The 2.5IDE/ATA drives are Western
Digital and come in 80GB ($57), 160GB ($72) and 250GB ($88)
capacities.
Because of the smaller diameter, it seems as though 5400 RPM on a
2.5 drive would be

Because ATA SSD's are small, and insanely expensive, and lightness isn't the
