Stuck choosing between 5400 and 7200 RPM drives!

Short answer: There are no new NAS-grade 5400 rpm on the market.
Question solved.

When browsing through WD specifications, pay attention to the wording “5400 rpm-class”, which actually means that the drive measurably spins at 7200 rpm but is being sold as “low end” by the marketing department.
