I seriously find it hard to believe that a 5400rpm drive can't stream the 8MB/s that a 1080p MKV movie needs.
My Avatar 1080p runs perfectly fine from my 5400rpm USB2.0 enclosure. I can also stream the same movie stutter free to another PC via a 100mbps network connection.
(unless you have something else running with it? i.e. indexing, defrag, virus scan, etc, or maybe these "green drives" have some sort of power saving feature that gimps the crap out of it)
