is there a noticeable speed increase with 10,000 rpm hard drives as compared to 7,200 rpm? anyone has both that they can compare?

In the server / raid world, they provide a good boost.
Are you talking about a thinkpad / notebook application?
They are only available as SAS serial attached scsi drives.

Is there such a thing as a 10,000 RPM laptop hard drive?

They are 2.5" drives, but intended for blade server applications.
As mentioned in my previous post, they are SAS drives.
Also avaiable in 15k rpm

They're for servers... laptops have to stick with 7200rpm.

What's the difference between Hitachi E7K100 and 7K100?

The fastest drive you can get would be an SSD, though they are expensive per GB.
