A new twist to IntelliPower?

Does your preferred drive spin at 5400 RPM drive ("Green") or 7200 RPM? My thread addresses this question.
In short, "5400 RPM class" does not necessarily mean "5400 RPM", so if you really want a 5400 RPM drive, then be aware that some "5400 RPM class" models spin at 7200 RPM during reading and writing.
