Okay it doesn't say on Amazon but is the 1TB/2TB HDD a 5400 RPM or a 7200 RPM?

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

It is a 5400 rpm drive. I don't have the other specs on the drive but should be easy to find on the manufacturer's website. The size is pretty standard. It replaced the 120Gb drive in my 13 in 2007 White MacBook and fit easily. I did replace the HDD in a 2009 13in, unibody MacBook Pro 5.5 with an SSD. The SSD was slimmer but fit with no problems. You will need the special tools for a MacBook Pro.

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

7200 rpm drives get SATA III while 5400 drives get SATA II. No, key code for automatic upgrade.

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

Mine had a 200 gb 5400 rpm but I replaced it with a 1 tb 7200 for a great performance upgrade! R Smith

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 purchased this laptop last month and can confirm that the SSD is 16 GB, and the HDD is 5400 RPM.

It has two drives. The first is a Solid State Drive with 384 G of memory, the second is a TB Serial ATA-600 that runs at 5400 rpm. Refer to the specifications for more information.

I have a 16 GB SSD and a 5400 RPM. Watchout, the disk name is WD7500 but it stands for 750GB not 7500rpm; hopefully the previous commenter is right.

I don't think there's a reliable answer because I think WD puts in whatever drive is available. I haven't heard WD give any answer to this question. It's really slow, so it may be a 5400 drive.

The LaCie drives that I looked at had 5400 RPM drives, while this one has a 7200 RPM drive. That is why I chose this one over the LaCie.

It is a 5400RPM, it looks incorrectly listed as 7200RPM. While 7200RPM is always preferred, a 5400RPM wont be too bad since its main use is for storage. The 2x mSATA in RAID is where your OS and programs should be installed and you'll get extremely fast speeds from those.

7200 rpm. Love this machine... amazingly thin for the size. No dvd/br types of drives though. Missed that when I bought it but makes no real difference to me anymore. Boots in about 3 seconds.

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.

7200 rmp, my husband usually buys 7200 and 10,000 rpm drives for our recording studio.The slower rpm ones may last longer, but just don't well. (Barry)
