Probably not as it has a 32mb cache despite the difference in RPMs.
At a rough guess I'd say a SATA 7200RPM drive with a 16mb cache
would perform much the same as this drive with the 32mb cache
( depending on what you have in there already )
I'd look at drive benchmark tests at one of the PC sites but the
best results as we know are in real world applications.
http://www.barefeats.com/ usually has some good drive comparisons
but this may be too new for them to have performed any benchmarks yet.
Thanks ... how could I forget barefeats:

My Seagate ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 interrnal to my DA Dual 533, shows a
Quickbench of Read 90MB/s and Write 89MB/s for 100MB Extended Tests.
Looks like the Seagate LP ST32000542AS 5900 clocks in at Read 116MB/s
and Write 110MB/s for 1GB Extended Tests (special version of
Quickbench I think) on a Mac Pro. Hopefully I'm taking the similar
numbers off their findings correctly, maybe not ...
Different environments for testing for sure.
Will continue to investigate ...
