Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

It's 5400 rpm. Although 7200 rpm discs are usually faster at gathering data this hard drive will outperform both 5400 and 7200 standard hard drives. It's cache and solid state memory allows the drive to gather and process data very quickly. From the time I hit the power button to Windows 8.1 being up and ready to go usually clocks at around 14 to 18 seconds. I have an HP Envy DV6. Laptop with an I7 processor 6 gigs of Ram. Since installing this hard drive I have not found a desktop or another laptop that can keep up.

I'm sorry I do not know, nor can I find any reference to its speed. I use thunderbolt to run my drive and it sizzles.

Speeds vary with different PC's and hardware I get around the 120mbs. Also what kind of ssd you use, that is a real picture. They do get really hot fast, not good for you're Msata. I hope that helps.

It *is* SSD. All SSDs are not the same speed, but this will certainly be faster than any platter disk.

For hard drives, mine arrived with Toshiba DT drives at 7200rpm. They work exceptionally well and are slightly faster in my tests than other drives at the same rating.

Way too much information. Short answer: Yes. Long answer: You already have a 5400 RPM SATA drive, so all you're doing is upgrading the size.

according to crystal disk info the drive is 5400 rpm. I bought from Xotic PC though.

The drive is 5400rpm. Honestly I don't notice as my OS is installed on the SSD so the OS is very fast. All of my programs are on the 5400rpm drive.

Yes. My reason for this drive is more the speed. 7200 is much faster than the older 5200.

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.

Good Question for Amazon if they have both speeds posted. It is 5400RPM NOT A 7200 RPM

It depends on the type of data. For sustained reads and writes, like with files larger than a few MB, there is likely no performance difference. However the 7200RPM will have a performance advantage in response time and reads/writes with very small files. In general, the 5900 would be better for data storage and media, where the 7200RPM would be better for Operating Systems and application data.

Just got the 128GB version. Running Crystal Disk Mark 64bit - Sequential Read: 100.7MB/s Write: 100.8MB/s 512K read 25.2MB/s write: 57.11MBs 4K random read: 0.263MB/S write 0.943MB/s 4K random QD32 read: 0.457MB/s write: 0.694MB/s - Hope this helps everyone to decide!

I cannot answer your specific questions because I am not particularly interested in the access speed and I don't have windows redayboost. But I can say that this little drive has been handy in my work and so far has not shown any questionable performance.

I assume you're asking whether it's faster than a conventional hard disk drive. The answer is yes, much faster.

I have yet to see a HDD run at 6 GBps. It does seem to be as fast as if the drive was internally installed.
