I do recommend a 7200RPM drive for parity, as it DOES increase the speed of writes.
There are three good 7200RPM drives to use, here they are in the order I like them:
1. Seagate 7200RPM Barracuda
2. WD 7200RPM Black
3. Hitachi 7200RPM
Be sure to use the newest Unraid beta if you go with the WD Black, its on sale right now at Newegg:
