I didn't see any documentation anywhere on the box, or manual, or drive that it is in fact 7,200 rpm. Has anyone verified this?

I used the system profiler to check mine. I believe you can right click and select get info to see the specifics of the drive as well

When I drove it it seemed to get the MPH pretty well. Also I think the Rpm and a few other readings, I can't remember well what the others were. It help me keep that car running until I finally decided to get rid of the car. The Machine works pretty well. I recommend it for an enthusiast. :)

I just chatted with Samsung and they said the S03US has a 5400 rpm drive, but Amazon is showing 7200. All the other specs look the same. I did see some posts where the S)3US came with Windows 7 Pro instead of the Home edition. We'll have to see.

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.

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

I've used a program called "HWinfo" on this specific external drive and it says it is a Hitachi at 7200RPM's. I recommend the Fantom brand just because of that honestly, Hitachi just doesn't make bad drives. PS. They are also known as HGST and are now owned by WD or Western Digital.

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.

I'm sorry I do not know, nor can I find any reference to its speed. I use thunderbolt to run my drive and it sizzles.

It can make a very noticeable whine at full speed, which is 7000+ RPM. The can be set to only run on full at a temperature you set in BIOS though and can even limit the top speed as a percentage.

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

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.

I would say pretty high rpm. It doesn't put out full until about 1200rpms. Starts at around 900 before anything reads on my amp meter.
