Hi

I am thinking about getting a small portable harddrive for my MacBook Pro, to boot a windiws partition from, run games, programs etc. I guess fw800 is the best, and Lacie provides 2 options. A 100 GB 7200 rpm and a 120 GB 5400 rpm. My question is: would there be any significant difference between two, and are there anything i should be aware of??

The chosen harddrive will be running from my laptops battery.

Hope you can help me :)

just from HD perspective, i'd say the 7200 will provide the best performance...

sorry, i'm not sure about the power consumption
