That's because people put 7200rpm drives in the firewire cases though.

The newer 7200rpm SATA notebook drives should be pretty fast.  I have  
some Fujitsus and they certainly seem to be.

FYI:

$100 will get you 750GB at newegg.com, for a Samsung or WD, 500GB  
Seagate.

They also have a sale so you can get a Seagate 750GB for $99.

Free shipping on all three.
