Can anyone verify that the drive that comes with it is infact 7,200 rpm?

I have the prior 800/400/usb 2.0 version and it is 7200rpm. I can't imagine they went backwards..

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

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

Your answer is no. I would stay away from this product at all cost. It won't don't even 1,000rms on a good day. I switched my hfi2000 for a dbdrive. That's a true 1820rms

I don't believe so, what matters is the size which is 500GB, the type which is a SATA 2.5 laptop hard drive, and the speed which is 5400 rpm, but the part numbers change as new hard drives come out.

Someone else will have to answer, but I can tell you it's a great drive and well worth what you pay for it. It's light and works perfectly. I'm not savvy about how to burn.

... the drive is actually faster than advertised - maybe your system config needs a little tweaking ...

Thanks for the update. Did you mean the WD 5400 rpm 1tb drive 8 cache.. Can't find it in 7200 rpm. Thanks

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.

Mine had a 200 gb 5400 rpm but I replaced it with a 1 tb 7200 for a great performance upgrade! R Smith

I didn't purchase the 250. But the description says 7200 RPM, so that wouldn't be a solid state drive as they don't rotate.

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.

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. I'm not sure if it is the latest possible version because it does not support Thunderbolt.

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

Spins at 5400 RPM, that is whats keeping me from buying this drive. Good for laptop, but not desktop.120 GB SSD = $75.00, 1TB 7200 RPM HDD = $59.00, you do the math.

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