does this hard drive have a spin speed/ rpm of 7200?

If you open the case (which I had to fix the drive after it had jammed and would not be recognized), you can see that the internal drive is a Samsung ST1000LM024. I Googled this and found the following description on another site:SAMSUNG Spinpoint M8 ST1000LM024 1TB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Interestingly enough, Seagate has chosen to NOT list the speed of the drive either on the box, on the actual drive or even in the rather skimpy documentation. It is possible that the Seagate site might be able to tell you. All I can say is that it is very quiet and I can't complain about the data transfer rate.

Mine has 2 Hitachi HTS727550A9E364 drives, which in this case translate to 500 GB 7200 RPM drives.http://www.hgst.com/travelstar-7k750In addition, it also features a SanDisk SSD i100 16 GB.

Dear Lance, I found a small memory (Kingston) built directly into the motherboard (like a micro SSD). The computer has only one hard drive at 7200 rpm. The operating system (Windows 8) is installed on small memory (micro SSD) and the new software I install, they were on the hard drive. Alvaro Acevedo

Neither. The rate is between 5400 and 7200 rpm. WD has a new Technology called Intellipower, which basically allows the drive to adust its rotation based on what type of data call is being made to it. Something to think about is that these drives sleep. If you aren't making any calls to the drive, they aren't spinning, so it can take a moment (how ever long a moment is) to spin up; however, once they spinup they can handle anything you want to throw at them. I absolutely love my WD My Cloud EX2 and the WD Red drives.

The two that I have bought from Amazon are 7200 rpm drive for that Touro model listed

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.

In youtube there is such a video. A dude connects a flash drive into this and jumps to further velocities compared to 7200 rpm seagate backup plus

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

Ok I look around and talk with some Sony technicians all they said was to get 5400 or 7200 rpm as long as it is SATA2/ SATA 3.0GB/s

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.

They do!5400 rpm drive to 5400rpm drive I get 65-75 Mb/s minimum using both ports.

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.

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

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

The drive is very quite for a large storage device. I have 2 hooked up and it's still quite. They only spin up when you need them.

Right, RPM would be about revolutions of a drive, however now with hybrid drives you will still see RPM but they have mixed storage creating an advanced cache so the performance is a lot better.

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