Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

Wow. This article is epic fail epitomized.
As Robin pointed out, SSDs are the fastest option and spin at precisely 0RPM.
Furthermore, I guarantee a 5400RPM SATA/3Gbps drive transfers data faster than a 10KRPM ATA/33 drive.
While the tip is somewhat good, your advice is like saying, "If you want to drive fast, get a vehicle with 8 cylinders instead of 4." While technically relevant, there are other far more important factors to consider.
I'd also like to point out that 10KRPM is generally going to be far too loud for most users. These drives tend to fall into the category of "don't bother mentioning it because those that will tolerate the noise already know about them."
