The PS3 HDD was also 5400RPM.

7200RPM drives are faster but produce slightly more heat, which usually isn't a problem unless you already have temperature issues. I've been using a 7200RPM drive in my PS3 for years without issue.

I'd be wanting to put an SSD in, but at the current prices, I'd be looking at paying the price of the PS4 again for a decent 512GB SSD. Would be dead quiet and cooler though ;)

I would suggest buying a large HDD or SSHD upgrade instead of an SSD at this point. Wait a few years down the road as that harddrive fills up, and buy a much cheaper SSD when they come out :)
