Harddrive spindle speed is the MOST important factor regarding the access
and transfer speeds of the drive. All of the other specs are at least
partially dependent on it.

Can anyone tell me if hard drive spindle speed is an important factor
to consider when purchasing a hard drive?

Or should I just concentrate on average latency, average access, and
max. full seek time?

I ask because two hard drives with a data rate of 80mps can differ in
these other respects.

Thanks a lot.
