5400rpm drives have higher data density, so they can be smaller for the same capacity. 7200rpm drives basically only have faster access times, so random read is better, as the required sector to jump to will pass again faster.
In a console, when loading game assets 5400 to 7200 shouldn't make much of a difference, if any.

It makes a decent difference of around 10-15% on average according to comparison vidoes. On the PS4 Pro that difference would probably be larger but I have not seen any good comparision videos of a 5400 and 7200 Drive yet. I have a 2 TB SSHD (5400) in my PS4 Pro
