Make sure its 5400RPM though or you'll over heat the PS3 and kill the machine, 7200 might be a few seconds faster but the PS3 wasnt built to cope with the extra heat they emit.

EDIT: example since I timed it, it took 1min from log-in screen (user name/password) to get to the adventure field (New Gridania) during UK Prime Time the other weekend
SSDs do not spin, there is no RPM rating. SSD speed is rated in IOPs and data rates. What you have is a good ol' standard hard drive. And the PS3/4 are more than capable of handling 7200rpm, which does not generate significantly more heat than a 5400.
