2.5 Hard drive in Case

I want to use a 2.5 Hard drive as my main drive in my PC tower. To get the same speed as my existing 320g Sata HD 3.5, which 2.5 should i be looking at?

What's the purpose of this? Power saving, silence? Might as well get a WD Green power if that's the case...

Silence and space. I like to suspend the drive and can't do at the moment with the 3.5.

Any 7200rpm perpendicular drive then.

Access times will still be slower than a desktop but the new ones come close. I'd recommend:
