I think one of the best drives now is the scorpio BLUE 1TB, which actually spins at only 5400 rpm, but manages to match 7200 rpm drives for read/write performance. Seemingly lower power consumption, less vibration and heat, but doesn't sacrifice performance. Make sure you get the one that will fit in YOUR device, this drive comes in a 9.5mm and 12.5 mm form factor.
