is this hard drive a 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM?

The link is showing different drives (Western Digitial, Hitachi, Seagate and Toshiba). Which model are you referring to?

All of the devices sold by this company are 5400 RPM. No matter what brand you get.

According to several sources (including Anandtech) the HDD spins at 5400 RPM.

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

"Intellipower" RPM is intentionally not specified by Western Digital -- supposedly it is a *variable-speed* motor, I believe in the 5400 to 5900 RPM range. (They compare themselves on sequential reads to 7200RPM products, but mostly it's just a big cache and predictive algorithm responsible. On random reads, it won't compare so favorably.) Check out storagereview website for a full review of the WD20EARS, which uses similar basic drive internals.

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.

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.

HHD = 750 GB 5400 RPM. You can see a complete spec sheet on Toshiba Web Site - Model S55-A Detailed Product Specs - Part number PSKK2U-05V08R

Hi Eddie, My Hitachi Travelstar SATA 7200 drive arrived today, ordered from TigerDirect. Both the box and label on the drive confirm it as 7200 rpm. I have a Hitachi 320g 7200 drive in my netbook, and it works great. I purchased this from TigerDirect too.

5400 RPM, Not the fastest but it backs up all my stuff. I've had mine for over a year and it works fine.

My guess (as it's so hard to find the rpm spec anywhere on the WD site) is that it's 5400rpm. That said, it's pretty zippy and I've had no problems (other than Pro Tools refusing to work with it due to the non-Oxford chipset) streaming audio and video from it.

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)

I got the 7200 rpm 1 tb, Both are hard drives. Your laptop has a mount when you take the old one out. You will need to remove the mount to install the new Hard Drive and put it on the new Disk Drive. I was a very simple process for me however, you need an image of your Operating System to reinstall your (OS).

USB powered drive usually mean SLOW rotational speed i.e. 5400 RPM . NOT the normal 7200 RPM internal drive speed. This affects the data transfer rate,backup speed and read/ write time. Having a power brick has advantages, fast drives ,even up to 15000 RPM if you swap out existing drive with a 15K rpm driveSlow drive are a dying breed and R & D is NOT going into 5400 rpm drives by makers.

It has a 1 tb HD 5400 rpm and 3 ssd drives all in the 130 gb range running in raid for booting. Mine had a 90 day warranty.

It uses a 7200 RPM drive. Version 1 used a 5900 RPM drive. Both are SATA III with 64MB cache.

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.

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
