on msi website it says 7200rpm Hard Drive Rotational Speed but on this page it says 5400rpm so whats the exactly speed.

Frankly the difference is quite negligible between them. That said, it depends on who built it. If it's stock, I'd assume it's 5400. If it's custom, ask the builder.And, you can upgrade this laptop with an msata, which is faster than 7200 by a long shot. So, don't think that the stock build is the end-all-be-all for this machine.

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.

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

It means that the Hard drive of this computer is diferent than the one on the website

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.

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

Good Question for Amazon if they have both speeds posted. It is 5400RPM NOT A 7200 RPM

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.

A 7200 rpm hard drive will run at said speed as a 5400 rpm hdd will run at 5400 rpm. The higher the rpm, the faster the drive.

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

Western Digital calls this "IntelliPower" (Doc #3665 & #3892), Essentially it means that it operates between 5400 rpm & 7200 rpm depending on the need of of the application that is using it. I called their 1-800 "Pre-sale" line and asked for the documentation. "WD Green Power drives comparisons vs. traditional 7,200 RPM drives Answer ID 3892 | Last Updated 03/04/2011 Overall, this product meets the performance requirements of most applications while delivering significantly less power consumption. If your application requires mostly sequential read/writes, then the drive will perform comparable to a 7,200 RPM drive. However, if your application performs mostly random mode operations, then the performance may drop by about 10% because of the latency time. If the Green Power product does not meet your performance needs then we have our Raid Edition line of 7,200 RPM Enterprise drives that will deliver the performance you need at the industry's best reliability."

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.

Hi Mark,It is 7200 rpm HDD speed. The 3220 info is referenced to the processor core model.Thanks,PCrush

It is a 5400 rpm drive. I don't have the other specs on the drive but should be easy to find on the manufacturer's website. The size is pretty standard. It replaced the 120Gb drive in my 13 in 2007 White MacBook and fit easily. I did replace the HDD in a 2009 13in, unibody MacBook Pro 5.5 with an SSD. The SSD was slimmer but fit with no problems. You will need the special tools for a MacBook Pro.

The 1TB and 2TB versions of this drive are 7200RPM, the 4TB version is 5900RPM. REF: http://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/sshd-fam/desktop-sshd/en-us/docs/100726566c.pdf

Hello, 2.5 "SATA2 5400RPM drive with tried. USB2.0 30-35 MB / s transfer speed provided by. USB3.0 at 60-65 mb / s provided. Such good enough for an apparatus.

Ok so there's a few things you need to understand in relation to comparing speeds. First there's no standard read write speeds for hdds my 7200 3tb drive ranges from 72 to 150 MB/s Next plastered drives are hard to compare directly with solid state. Platter drives read faster on the inner tracks compared to the litter tracks. There's also spin - up and spin down time for a platter drive. Now this ssd WILL max out your 3gbs sata2 at about 300 to 380MB/s Of course you look and see oh that's only double. True long read will be about double speed. However, it's those short access small files that'll benefit the most. Ssds have no platter. So no spin speed. They just send as much as the device / interface can handle. They also don't "seek" for data so there's no time loss there. In random reads my ssd is roughly 60x faster over all. But if I'm moving a TB of movies or whatnot. It's not AS remarkably fast but still a 100% better experience.

As I understand it that the maximum speed of the Interface between the computer and the device. Since the device is basically all Solid State electronics, as opposed to a traditional spinning rust HD, the 6gb/sec is actually closed to a true read/write speed than you might imagine. note that that's 6gb ie BITS not BYTES... IE 8 b's per byte plus handshaking overhead but is a still twice that of tradition SATA which is only 3gb/sec max.

The spec sheet doesn't say, but almost certainly 5400 RPM. Max. data xfer over USB3 is 5GB/sec. There's a 2.5" external Hitachi at 7200 RPM but it appears to only have 750GB capacity.

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.
