Which Laptop HDD would you say is better?

Hello All. I have done some research into this question, but couldnt find a reasonable answer.

Which Laptop HDD is better/faster? One has more cache, the other has more RPM.

1.) 5400 RPM, 16MB Cache, 100GB, 1year warrany, Toshiba. $65.99

2.) 7200 RPM, 8MB Cache, 100GB, 5 year warranty, Seagate. $109.99

The HDD must be ATA-6 / IDE.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Since price is not a big deal, I am leaning towards the Seagate. I am not sure whether the extra cache on the Toshiba will be better than the superior RPM of the Seagate.

that one is much better!
RPM is more important than cache, as long as you have at least 8 MB cache
plus it's got 5 years warranty

Thanks Costello. That was all I needed to hear. I wasnt too sure which was more important. Thanks again.
