Thanks to anyone who offers their insight.

What "big programs" are you running? Judging by the price of the drive, I'm assuming this is for a laptop.
There is a fairly noticeable hike in performance between the two, but that's only if you are reading and writing to your hard drive constantly. Video editing would suffer with a 5400ROM drive, where as Photoshop wouldn't nearly as much. So, it really depends on the program and how much it writes to the hard drive.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
