5400's seem to be getting less common though.  When I was looking around 
for drives then all of the cheaper drives seemed to be 7200's.

One thing that worries me about maxtor is that they offer a 1 year 
warranty, wheras most (all?) of the rest are 3 years.  Makes me wonder if 
there are reliability issues with the drives.
