That depends a bit... in my case I wanted to replace the 320GB 5400RPM  
with a 500GB drive, and looked up and found that the WD Scorpio Blue  
500GB 5400RPM was in fact the fastest drive... faster than the Seagate  
Momentus 7200RPM.

Since the Seagate is the only 7200RPM drive out there at 500GB, I  
suspect that just going 5400RPM is the better choice.
