does this external hard drive have an rpm of 7200?

Sorry, I can't find that info in my booklet. Try going to the Seagate website.

Mine does not say, nor does the on-screen "properties" window state the RPM. Sorry.

No it doesn't, it's a 5400 RPM Drive; for the most part, only Desktop Drives have an RPM of 7200.....and are "powerered drives".

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.

If it was it'd cost thousands of dollars. No, it's a 5400rpm drive. But more than adequate if you don't need super fast.

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

Yes, it definitely matters. CIB sent me a list of comapatible SATA HDDs. They are ALL 7200 RPM. I bought the Western Digital WD10EADS, 1 teraByte drive. This will hold about 1 month of video from four 700TVL cameras at 60IPS. You may have to format the hard drive before installation. The electronic store where you buy the HDD can help you with that. Seagate, Maxtor and Hitachi also make 7200 RPM compatible HDD. Don't be shy about contacting CIB Customer Service at 408-736-3070. They have been most helpful to me on other things, like setting up internet access.

No. It is a 72200 RPM external drive. To my knowledge it is still prohibitively expensive to buy a 1TB solid state and I don't even know if 3TB SSDs are available in the consumer market.

The WD10JPVT is a 5400 RPM HDD, Amazon has it wrong in their product description.

I use the portable device all the time on 7200 RPM 2.5" drives. It works just fine for reading and duplicating drives at those speeds without issues for me. I can't answer to anything faster like 10K drives since I don't have any of those just yet. Don't have any 5400 RPM drives either. I recommend this product - easy to use.

Hi Mark,It is 7200 rpm HDD speed. The 3220 info is referenced to the processor core model.Thanks,PCrush

If it had a 7200 rpm drive they would brag about it - so I'd bet it has a 5400 rpm.

The drive you have selected here might not fit what you are looking for; this is a portable usb HDD with no external power--everything is done through the USB cable. I can figure out the RPMs, but I am pretty sure it is much lower than 7200 since its USB powered. Take a look at the WB MyBook Studio: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004QGXOP2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -This should better fit what you are looking for in a drive. I have one of these, and it works great. The firewire is so much faster than USB 2.0--probably on par with 3.0, I don't have any 3.0 ports or devices. If you have Thunderbolt, they do make Thunderbolt variants, but they are far more expensive--thunderbolt is the fastest connection you can get, but HDD won't use the full speed bandwidth of Thunderbolt; firewire or USB 3.0 should do just fine for HDD. The only reason to get SSD is speed, and you better be prepared to spend a lot of money #1) SSD is more expensive than HDD: HDD is $1 per GB while SSD is about $2.5 per GB 2) the real catch is unless you get an external SSD with Thunderbolt connectivity there is no point in having SSD because the speed will be bottle-necked by the USB or Firewire connection--you won't get the full speed of the SSD. Thunderbolt will also drive up the price as well. If you let me know exactly what you are planning to use this drive for I could give you a better recommendation tailored to your uses, but I hope this helps you find something that will meet your needs.

Thanks for the update. Did you mean the WD 5400 rpm 1tb drive 8 cache.. Can't find it in 7200 rpm. Thanks

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.

They don't publish what speed it is. They source different hard drive manufacturers. More than likely it is 7200 to meet the specs. From the various reviews from professionals, it meets their published specs. The transfer rates are very good. I liked mine.

The 1TB and 2TB versions of this drive are 7200RPM, the 4TB version is 5900RPM. REF: http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/sshd-fam/desktop-sshd/en-us/docs/100726566c.pdf

Spins at 5400 RPM, that is whats keeping me from buying this drive. Good for laptop, but not desktop.120 GB SSD = $75.00, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD = $59.00, you do the math.

No, it has a 5400 rpm drive. Really slows down otherwise great performance.
