Problem

During real, everyday use, that is? I'm looking to upgrade a drive in a MacBook Pro, and am looking at either a 750GB/7200RPM or a 1TH/5400RPM drive. Would I care about the speed difference? Is it worth giving up the additional space on the larger drive?

Low Risk

Yes, you would feel the difference. Applications will start faster, and the OS will boot faster as well. Whether you care, is something you have to ask yourself. How long will you take to come even close to filling up 750GB?
