Hello. Is the drive on the new versions available here 5400 or 7200rpm? Thanks

The unit I receive was a re-fab with a 5400 rpm western digital hdd. I hope that helps.

It's a solid state hardrive. That means that it is much faster than your typical 5400rpm/7200rpm hardrives. Instead of reading your memory off a rotating disk, it uses flash storage similar to your usb keys. the capacity is 1Tb, or 1024 gb of storage

New 1.06 FW was just released this morning... with support for 1.5TB drives.I'd watch for problem reports on D-Link's forum for a little while before trusting it with important data, just in case there is a bug.

You're right, I did get the 5400 rpm unit. I bought it in April and when I click on the link for the item I bought, it goes directly to the 7200 rpm unit for $98.45.But, the 5400 does just fine and I don't notice it any slower than my older 500 mb, 7200 rpm unit it replaced.

i think it is old and not good for PS4 ( if you notice 5400 RPM is too old tech ) , PS4 needs better but you must see compatible HDD in sony website like i did with this Samsung HDD 1 TB i saw it in the website it was recommended by sony for the PS3 .

5400 rpm- a weak point for this laptop. However, since this laptop supports up to two 2.5" drives, I recommend getting a decent solid state drive to use as the primary drive and delegate this 1TB drive to storage only.

You should email them. The Red drives that they put in these units are not 7200RPM.

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

Rose, I don't think you can buy those 750 MB disks any longer; I think they went out when the drive was discontinued. Sorry!

What is the RPM for Western Digital 1.5 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EADS? Is it 5400 or 7200 RPM?

Not me. If you have extra storage somewhere else it may worth changing. Otherwise stay with the 5400

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

I just chatted with Samsung and they said the S03US has a 5400 rpm drive, but Amazon is showing 7200. All the other specs look the same. I did see some posts where the S)3US came with Windows 7 Pro instead of the Home edition. We'll have to see.

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files. I hope this info helps.

Hard drive is only 5400, but Windows boots much faster than I imagined and the laptop comes with 2 drive bays, so you can throw in a SSD in it's SATA 3 port if you wanted.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.
