what is the speed of the drive

It is quite fast. I never ran any benchmark tests but it is considerably faster than USB2.0. Just make sure you have USB3 ports in your computer. In case you only have USB2 ports, the drive still works but with USB2 speeds only.

With USB 2.0, it'll move roughly 16 MB/ second. With USB 3.0, it'll move roughly 28 MB/ second.

For hard drives, mine arrived with Toshiba DT drives at 7200rpm. They work exceptionally well and are slightly faster in my tests than other drives at the same rating.

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.

I never looked it up but I would say its the data transfer rate on and off the drive.

Hi Bandi, Technically, your drive is capable of making disk-to-host transfers of up to 110 MB/s, and USB 2.0 maxes out at 60 MB/s, where USB 3.0 maxes at around 125 MB/s. Your drive will probably never reach 110 MB/s, but I would suggest using a USB 3.0 enclosure so that your drive can run as fast as it pleases. Besides, at some point you'll probably upgrade even your "backup drive", and you'll want the speed. On a personal note, I love this enclosure. You'll need to buy some little rubber feet from the hardware store to keep it from sliding around, but other than that, it's great! Jack

I do not recall. I do not think the rotational speed of the drive would explain such incredibly slow transfer rates I was getting about 10 MB per hour.

It has two drives. The first is a Solid State Drive with 384 G of memory, the second is a TB Serial ATA-600 that runs at 5400 rpm. Refer to the specifications for more information.

It works as a large drive. I don't have the continued experience of the drive speeding up. But it works!

The drive runs at SATA I speed (150 Gbit/s) which is normal for modern optical drives. Connection-wise, SATA is backwards and forwards compatible. You can plug it into any generation of SATA and expect the same functionality.

I don't know, sorry. Perhaps you could contact DRIVE web site for further information.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I don't know much about the drive. The one in my Dell Inspiron failed and this was a good economical replacement.

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.

Its a samsung drive. Its pretty darn fast. I replaced a quadcore mac pro with this and havent looked back.

Unsure, but be advised that while this drive in eco friendly it pays the price in speed, this is a very slow drive. I use it for gentle backups, nothing serious or fast.
