5400 rpm was very common. 7200 were the performance drives.

As I remember around 2007, 5400 RPM was frowned upon in builds.

The disks I have from that time is a WD RE2 (very noisy 7200 RPM) and a few WD Green's (I think they are slower than 5400 RPM just to mess with my arguments).

And if you wanted very high performance, you could go with a 10000rpm one.
