Is the 750 GB hard drive a 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM?

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

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.

As I understand it, the manufacturer does not publish the RPM parameter for most of their drives allowing them greater flexibility in using whatever internal device the need to meet the performance requirements. I looked and cannot find it specified. My educated guess is 7200 RPM.

I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt. But I can say that it is 7200 RPM drive with both USB 3.0 and Firewire connections which seem to be the current state-of-the art. But it should provide more than adequate use for many years to come - that is the reason that I have purchased it for my system. I hasten to add that I have not received it yet and have no actual hands-on experience with this model although I do have two previous G-Technology drives and they continue to work flawlessly. I just need more storage capacity for my Timemachine files. I hope this info helps.

Yes green drives are only 5200 RPM much slower than 7200 just to save 10 watts of power. The WD black drive is the highest performing mechanical drive there is.

The label on the hdd says 3.0 gb/sec and 7200 rpm. I've read that the original ps3 hdd was 5400 rpm and a small speed increase can be expected in going to 7200 rpm.

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.

HDD 5400 rpm, but you can probably a SSD if you want. Either way the computer processing speed is great to begin with. Mine is very fast.

5400 is actually better (or at the very least, no worse) than 7200 for large files since the heads spend less time bouncing around the platters trying to find your data. Also once you RAID these, which is what they're designed for, they'll be plenty fast enough that you won't think twice about how fast they spin.

The HDD speed doesn't matter as this product will eventually corrupt the drive.(5400 rpm IIRC)

What is the RPM for Western Digital 1.5 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD10EADS? Is it 5400 or 7200 RPM?

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).

"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.

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.

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