You bet. 5400 RPM drives are nearly silent, run cooler and in a NAS environment are almost as fast. I have 8TB 7200 RPM drives, that are continuously 'clunking' even when they are idle, and it is annoying. The 5400 RPM drives don't do this, and they are 10 years old now.

If speed is a factor go with SSD. There is always a price/performance difference between this and the mechanical drives. Tech improved pretty well that 5400 is good enough compared to 7200 drives.

I put a WD Purple in my NVR since that is what they are designed for. I do not know the technical difference, but in a NVR, the data is being overwritten on regular intervals, the RED drives are designed for for NAS storage, where data is generally stored longer term.

I need a 4 Gb HDD for storing pictures in a desktop computer but I am set on 7200 rpms just because I don't want to wait for transfer. Are there good chances gor a sub $100 4 GB 7200 rpms drive? Or should I go with this one? Less chances of 5400 rpms failing, maybe? Thx

If you want performance, consider the 7200 RPM hard drives. However, if the goal is to store files .. for example, on a NAS or low-power server ... then 5400 RPM drives are just fine. With either speed drive transferring the files will take time, however when you go back to view/open them you won't notice the difference in speed.
