| Buy only 7200 rpm drives. Or if you want the 5400/7200 dual speed wd drives

I don't think that there are any dual (or variable) speed WD drives.

If you are refering to WD GP drives, the current models are 5400RPM
but the specs try to disguise this.  Testing reveals all.

Even so, these drives might well be a good choice for Myth: it isn't
obvious to me whether the speed difference matters to Myth; Myth
boxes are often on all the time so power consumption might matter
more.
