IBM makes a 10,000 RPM version. I have a 7200. The only reason not to get
10,000 RPM disks is if your computer is in your bedroom and you can't
stand the noise. :) You also have to be prepared to properly cool such
drives.

But yeah, since I/O is the performance bottleneck, get disks as fast as
you can afford.
