What does having more cache do?
What does having more rpm do?

If you aren't archiving just get the 7200rpm. Even if you are archiving just get the 7200 rpm.

Sell more disks to ignorant consumers who think cache matters.

5400rpm are usually more "eco-friendly" but also slower option

This.
If you're only rarely using the thing, maybe go for 5400... but 99% of the time, 7200rpm it is.
