SO! Its time i buy another laptop harddrive, Planning on using it for solely Dj purposes.

Now with that in mind im going to be running a Stripped down version of vista, and the only thing installed will be my dj program. Aside of Vista and that program, the only thing that will be stored on the drive will be about 100 gigs of music (Going for a 250 gig drive, cause i plan to be expanding)

Now here comes the question. Should i bother getting a 7200 drive for performance? Or just stick with 5200. Heat is also a little bit an issue,but rarely am i in a hot environment when i dj.
 
Definitely a 7200RPM. It's totally worth the slightly more heat and slightly lower battery life.

Another piece of advice: DON'T STRIP ANYTHING FROM VISTA.

I've seen one too many cases here on the forums of people stripping down Vista but have serious stability problems afterwards. Vista is not like XP where it'll function relatively stable and fine after you strip and lobotomize it. So don't mess around with Vista. I don't care how experienced you are. Vista is totally different animal. Just keep it AS IS.
 
Really.... by Stripping i meant cutting some of the services (nothing that crazy), some registry edits, not installing all the bs drives that dell give you and just keeping the UI in Windows classic mode.
 
I have 2...

I dont want to run an os off the external, to slow for that plus finding all my music for my personal tastes.

Also the reason i want to get this new internal is because i dont want to carry around an external
