Is the Hard drive 7200 rpm or 5400 rpm?

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.

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.

Just checked one of mine (using a great tool called "Crystal Disk Info". Great Tool, just choose "Custom install" {not express} and opt out of anything else, it's just bogus ads)So the speed says 5400RPM and it says 8Meg of flash (RAM). The actual internal hard drive is: wd10jmvw-11ajgs1 Look it up for more specs on the drive inside. Enjoy!

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

This model has a SSD (Solid State Drive) which does not have any moving parts and hence does not spin. A SSD is MUCH Faster than a 7200 rpm drive

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.

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

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.

I believe the Western Digital Passport series qualifies for the 7200 rpm speed but this USB powered drive is powered from the USB port with no means to power it with an external power source. If you must have an externally powered drive you might consider purchasing a external hard drive enclosure that supports that feature and a bare drive with compatible specs and then assemble them yourself.

LaCie is 5400 rpm, not 7200 rpm. I know the GTech uses Hitachi mechanisms; Hitachi disks, at least the desktop ones, seem to last the best. Don't know whose disk LaCie uses. A few years ago, LaCie developed a bad reputation for their disk devices. That may have changed but given the choices out there, i see no reason to risk it.

If it had a 7200 rpm drive they would brag about it - so I'd bet it has a 5400 rpm.

Here is the correct configuration: Total Hard Drive Capacity: 1 TB Hard Drive Interface: Serial ATA Hard Drive RPM: 7200

Given that there are conflicting answers to this question on Amazon, and I really wanted to know before purchasing a drive, I contacted Seagate. Here's their response: " Unfortunately, part of the information is not provided at all. The RPM of our Expansion drives are not a provided specification, meaning the unit can run from 5400 RPMs to 7200 RPMs. We have no way to know which is it. It is not a guaranteed specification." So, it's a crap shoot. And it matters.

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 always wonder that too with LaCie drives. Most likely 5400 RPM. They don't like to disclose this spec for some reason, but I recall seeing it elsewhere, or asking CS directly. It's for this reason, along with noise, I have not bought a LaCie and use G-Drive's instead.

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.
