Everyday was a struggle. Every since I got a DSLR and discovered the art of RAW picture editing, my space has been depleted. No more...
That's why my desktop has 3 2Tb drives in it, an external dual docking station to back it up AND 10Tb of array storage (5Tb mirrored) in my NAS ... files eat up space.

Is it okay to put in a 7200 rpm drive if the original is 5400?
Usually .. yes. Some 7200 discs run a little warmer, but I haven't seen an issue on any machines.
 
Steve I bought a 2 TB Seagate portable HD for $85.00 from Micro Center. It works great and no need for a power cord.

+1 what Steve said. It's fine. Might be a little warmer.

External drives are usually better if they have their own power.

And music YOU'VE PAID FOR magically filled ones don't count.
 
the 2TB SSD's are already out over $1500.00 which isnt surprising

So far it's working fine. I also have another one that is running off of a power cord.
