You can buy 7200rpm 2.5" drives albeit they are about 60% more expensive
than 5400rpm.

[T]he entrepreneur appears in a genuinely competitive market economy as a sort of trustee whom the community 
has placed in charge of its means of production. Comparing the costs of his services with those of a bureaucratic 
state-controlled economy, our entrepreneur may be regarded as a very inexpensive public servant, one who really assumes risks, 
while the politician is apt to be answerable only to God and history. ( Economics of the Free Society (1937),Wilhelm Röpke, p. 192).
