Paul,

I can't give you an RPM figure but it was comparable to my other 
FireWire 400 drives.

I have a 40Gb iPod that I boot client's machines off all the time and 
use for data transfer.

It has 9.2.2 and 10.3.8 on it. Both of these were installed using the 
install CD's (not CCC or SuperDuper or whatever).

I use it as a known good boot volume for trouble shooting (it has 
TechTool Pro, Disk Warrior, Disk Utility, etc installed) not to "run" 
the machine and it doesn't run for a prolonged period.

I've found the iPod great for this and recording notes about a visit 
and storing photos and Mactracker as well as "just" playing music.
