some tips on mechanical HDD: do not rely on rpm to determine what to buy. aerial density is the other part of the equation. there are many 5400rpm drives that blow 7200rpm drives out of the water. also, they are quieter, more efficient, and generally produce less heat. it doesn't have to work as hard to cover the same amount of data.
high rpm drives are for people that aren't well versed in computers and insecure people who overcompensate for other things
