[geeks] Disk ugprade in Mac Mini - worth it?

[Bill Bradford]

I was dismayed to discover that the internal disk in my Mac Mini (2007
Intel Core2Duo) isn't any faster than the FW400 external interface:

Internal drive is a 160G 5400rpm with 8M cache.

So, I'm thinking of dropping one of these babies in:

7200rpm, 16M cache, WD's "Black" performance line.

Think the effort will be worth it?  I'm definitely keeping this system for
at least another year (can't afford to upgrade to the latest Mini, and
really dont *need* to right now)...

Anybody gone from a 5400rpm drive to a 7200 in a MacBook?  Was it worth it?

I'll probably take the 160G disk out of the Mini and put that in my CoreDuo
MacBook (which has a 60G drive right now).
