I may need to purchase 2 new 72.8GB Ultra3 SCSI disks and have to choose between the 10K and 15K RPM disks.

My question is "how much faster" is the write performance on a 15KRpm disk compared to a 10KRpm disk when attached to a U160 RAID Controller.

I can write a single 250MB file to the 15KRpm disks @ RAID1 in 10 seconds, and am wondering what the difference would be with 10KRpm Ultra3 disks in the same configuration, as the 10KRpm 73GB disks are about 1/2 the price of the 15KRpm disks.

If anyone has experience with these I'd appreciate your insight.
