Umm... 10,000 > 7200. Doesn't matter if you're sharing files over a 1 gigabit connection.

If you mean faster to heat your server room and run up electric bill, then the 10k rpm drive. It's also much faster to fill up. A drive that old will also be faster to fail.

The short answer is: "if you have to ask whether you need 10K SAS drives, then you probably don't need them or you're in over your head" ;)

I'm not planning to buy 10K drives. Its only curiosity, because we have an old NAS that has this kind of drives, and is to compare latency and troughput of drives. But i saw reviews and specs of disks and hgst is faster in almost all scenarios.

Thank you.
