Does it matter if a 5400RPM or a 7200RPM is put in? Any tips on type? Can't find a manual on line to tell me this stuff.

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.

I would guess that it doesn't matter. I've installed countless hard drives in various devices and I've never had one not work due to the RPMs being to high or low. I can confirm that 7200 RPM drives work in it.

I've would suggest not installing a previously used drive (assuming you have an old 5400rpm drive lying around, hence your question). When I installed a used drive (not formatted) it crashed the system. It only seems to like new, formatted drives. Mine does happen to be a 7200rpm WD

This device is AVTECH KPD675C and in User Manual to it in Appendix 3 it list only 7200 RPM drives. But in my opinion - for 4 camera DVR it will not generate data very fast, so 5400 may work, but you need to test it.

There is nothing High Performance about this DVR/Capture device. A 5400 rpm drive will work fine. Mine has been working flawlessly since I got it and installed the drive.

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.

Ya know, I've just not tested that. I'm using mine with three Hitachi NAS drives. I'm pretty sure the consumption would vary by the drives. 7200 rpm drives will certainly draw more power than 5400 rpm drives. I'd suggest you email their tech department. They are very responsive I'm happy to report.

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

I put in an SDD, then reformatted the drive that came preinstalled into a single partition (leaving the hidden partitions alone in case I need to restore later). After that, the drive shows up as 1.8TB, and it performs like a 5400RPM drive. That being said, I believe that in it's original configuration, it performed as an hybrid drive with 8GB of SSD, which greatly improved it's performance over a regular 5400RPM drive. Hope that helps some.

I am not sure. I surfed the web for a while to see which sata would work. But from what I know the 3200 are the natural fit. The 7200 are faster but drain your battery faster from what I have read.

I'm going to replace my 500MB 7200rpm hard drive. How will this compare in speed? I'm basically at 90-93% full due to photos and music!

I can't buy a samsung, already got one but is in my laptop. I've had one samsung 5400rpm and their behavior is acceptable. sorry can help you more at this moment

Stock is 5400, at least the one I got. Which is the GT60 2OD 026US. It would appear that the GT60s that come with the Quadro GPU or have the 3K screen do in fact come with the 7200rmp. It can be easily changed if you needed it. Some sellers on the internet can easily do it for you for around 80 dollars. As an owner of this laptop I can say that the 5400 is fast enough for most games. I put the ones I need to load faster on the SSD. Also, one thing for consideration as this laptop has a limited power supply of 180 Watts + battery with hybrid power. When maxing the GPU and CPU and fan at max speed, speakers and display at medium brightness throttling happens because not enough power is available. A 7200 rpm uses more power so that is a consideration. When running games on a second display with the built in one turned off there is no throttling, so I suppose if you do that you can afford the extra wattage of the 7200rpm

"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.

I really didn't know so I looked here. http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19371348.aspx There was one guy who used a E8400 with no problems on a 560. If you want to go that route. I would think that there really isn't too much difference between the e8400 vs the e8500 except speed 3.00 vs 3.16. I know Dell won't officially support it though, But I can't tell you it wont work. I know it works great in my Dell 360 with no issues and my dell 200 watt power supply. It's really your call, But I would try it.. E8500 looks cheaper to risk than an e8400 from the looks of prices on amazon.

Does anyone know how to switch from 1080p to 720 my box doesnt allow oit for some reason... This thing needs a manual.

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

7200 rpm drives get SATA III while 5400 drives get SATA II. No, key code for automatic upgrade.

Appreciate the feedback. What does 30mb per second read mean? Is that from the disk to camera? Or camera to PC? And if I do go lower what will i lose out on? i.e. what potential wil lbe untapped? Sorry...newbie here and appreciate your help.

This listing is for the stock configuration by MSI, it is not customized by us at all. I do see what you are referring to with the 7200RPM listing which is incorrect and we will ask Amazon to change this, it should be 5400RPM as you mentioned you've seen elsewhere including our site. The CPU speed is 2.5GHz-3.1GHz and will adjust its clock speed depending on your use.

I can say, without thinking, I pulled the drive out while the computer was on. It rebooted my computer while the drive was still spinning in my hand, which was quite difficult to hang onto. Having done that, I feel it is pretty safe to say that you cant do it safely with a 7200rpm disk.
