A 2GB? I think you mean 2TB. Are 2GB drives even made?

For movie storage, it really doesn't matter. Even the slowest drives will work. I have seen no reliable/consistent evidence regarding reliability between 5400 or 7200 or brands (provided you're talking about the big names). Assuming you use it in a regular computer and not in a car or some other high stress application.

I think 5400 rpm drives use a little less power/make a little less heat, but it's negligible.
