Is the harddrive 7200 rpm or 5400 rpm, the web page says both in different sections?

Mine is also 72rpm. I love mine. had no problems at all. I play a lot of online games with mine like WOW- World of Warcraft. I also bank online and shop. Love my computer.

I can't help you, but I had to send two back to Amazon. Can't beat Amazon's customer service.

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.

I would guess that it doesn't matter. I've installed countless hard drives in various devices and I've never had one not work due to the RPMs being to high or low. I can confirm that 7200 RPM drives work in it.

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

Mine is installed in my ps4 and it is much faster than the 5400rpm stock. It boots, sleeps, and shuts off twice as fast as my friends with the stock drive. I'm sure you'd see performance boosts in a laptop or pc

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

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.

As far as I know the hard drive speed is dependent on the hard drive not your PC so it should run at what ever the hard drive is rated at. It should run at 7200RPM.

Ya know, I've just not tested that. I'm using mine with three Hitachi NAS drives. I'm pretty sure the consumption would vary by the drives. 7200 rpm drives will certainly draw more power than 5400 rpm drives. I'd suggest you email their tech department. They are very responsive I'm happy to report.

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

http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1704I quote: "We can only guarantee drive capacity. We cannot guarantee a particular internal hard drive model, data interface, rotational speed, or cache size in the external hard drive enclosure."So it's probably 5400 RPM (the cheaper option).

My apologies for not get back to you sooner . I don't know about how fast the RPM's are on this drive. I think it would be based on thee fact of the speed transfer rate. I looked up info for the drive including the BUFFALO website but i did not find anything. Is a fast drive, good luck

It depends on your user environment. 7200 rpm drives will be more responsive to a certain extent. However, slower spinning drives run cooler and require less power. Depending on your usage scenario you might benefit choosing either. You need to carefully assess what it is that you need to accomplish. There is an excellent review on anandtech that was published recently where multitude of NAS drives were put to the test. Every drive tested had redeeming factors. You might want to check it out. Article title "wd red pro review 4 tb-drives for nas systems benchmarked. Hope this helps.

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.

Your computer is: a HP G61-327CL Notebook PC; which has a SATA 7200 rpm drive. Be sure that you get another 7200 rpm drive, (not a 5400 rpm). The 5400 rpm is 25% slower than the 7200 rpm drive that you have. I would suggest going up to a 500-GB 7200 rpm drive - which can be found for under $54.So, my answer would be YES. Caution to get (another 7200 rpm drive) SATA.

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.
