What kind of "useage difference" do you want to see? Data throughput? It is hard to compared. Throughput depends on the CPU, memory, OS, file system, application, etc. etc. All we know is 7200rpm is faster. But by how much? The difference depends greatly on the factors I just mentioned, and oh yes, file type, read/write sequencing, etc. etc.
