    would a 250gb 5400 be better on battery than a 160gb or 200gb 7200rpm drive

    also if yes then would a 250 be the same as a 160 both 5400 on battery life as they are same speed


    does size matter ;)

    Yes

    According to my wife yes (but with hardrives of the same RPM and power I think not).
