Like I said, "typical" SATA drives are still offered at 7200 RPM moreso than you tend to see 10K RPM SATA drives offered, let alone 10K RPM
enterprise grade SATA drives.
That said, I personally prefer enterprise grade SAS 15,000 RPM and SSD drives over anything SATA, but that's just me. That said, it usually costs me more to do so. But as was mentioned by myself and others, it really depends on what the OP needs. Certainly you don't need SSD drives or 15,000 RPM drives for basic storage, for example.
