PCMag in a review in 1999 recommended the 27.3gig Maxtor 7200rpm
ATA66 hard drive which, they said, did very well also with ATA33
motherboards which is what I have (Asus P2B).

I am writing to ask if 7200rpm drives are significantly shorter
lived than 5600rpm drives or have any other drawback which I
might be overlooking.

Thanks in advance for any info.
