rpm drives

"It's a 5400 RPM hard drive, not the fastest....Just wanted to make clear to anybody looking for a 7200RPM hard drive that this is not it. It's a very good hard drive, but if you're looking for a faster performance, there are other options to consider. ...Note that it's a slower (5400 RPM) drive, which would not be ideal for a primary system disk, but it works great for data storage."

"Solid backup drive...Nice fast backup drive. Huge storage capacity to fully store backups for my two internal 10TB drives. ...Ok, i needed a large capacity drive to back up the work i do. I was happy to see the 20TB drive for the price that was not blowing up my budget. "

"Its 8TB capacity and 7200 RPM speed ensure fast data access, while its quiet operation and minimal heat generation maintain a stable environment. ...Quiet, Fast, Stable....It is a high-quality hard drive that offers 8TB of space and 5400 rpm of speed. "

"Seagate ext backup drives is THE way to BACKUP...I had to know the features and benefits of the drive and its capabilities. I love these backup drives. ...Les specs ne le spécifient pas, mais le disque dur du Seagate Expansion 8 TB est un Barracuda à 5400 RPM et celui de la version 14 TB est un Exos Mach.2x14 à 7200 RPM avec une vitesse d’écriture deux fois plus rapide. "

"I've bought two of these drives when they go on sale and was surprised to learn that Seagate uses a premium 7200 RPM drive with dual actuators in this model. very good performance for an external mechanical....Purchased to use as a backup drive. Plenty of room with fast access time"

"Great hard drive for ps4...Easy too install would have prefered getting the 7200 rpm but this 5400 rpm suits the ps4 fine....It is 7200 RPM Much faster than the 5600 RPM"

"Can't go wrong with IRONWOLF NAS drives...This is my 3rd IRONWOLF NAS drive and i will continue to rely on them for all of my future NAS drives...Great Drive for my NAS. I highly recommend Ironwolf drives over WD NAS drives because there is no games played with these over WD SMR Drives. "

"Very Fast Drive, Works Great with Xbox Series X!...The most important thing you should know about the Seagate 16 TB HDD is that it comes with a high end 7200 rpm HDD inside its solid casing. This is basically as good as you can get with a mechanical HDD. ...Reliable drives!...Excellent drive and tons of storage. I've used Seagate external drives for many, many years and only ever once had a problem. "

"Good value hard drive...Only downside is the 5400 rpm....A little slow, but a great drive for the money!...With a spindle speed of only 5400 RPM, it's a bit slower than a 7200 RPM drive, but the price makes up for it! "

"Great drive for mass storage...Great drive for 4 TB and behaves normally, only wish it was 7200 RPM rather than 5400 RPM for speed...Really good for storage. Didnt look at the rpm but it works perfect for me"

"Massive amounts of fast hard drive storage!...It's a 7200 rpm drive that is built on CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology with 256MB of on drive cache. ...The specs include 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 256 MB Cache, 3.5". Also this drive has the new mounting screws configuration. "

"Used to use a standard HDD that was 5400 rpm for my game drive. This operates at 7200 rpm and its night and day different. ...Fast and a good value...4 TB 7200 rpm HD. Great for everything. Fast and easy to set up"

"High capacity, reliable, shuckable drives...I'm using these drives in a ZFS pool. Note: SMART shows that these are 5400 RPM drives but acoustic analysis indicates they spin at 7200 RPM....Big Hard Drive...Slow but nice looking! I like 7200 rpm drives but this one is not"

"Good hard drive at a great price. It's fast and quite at 5400 rpm and fast enough to notice no difference in performance from the 7200 rpm it replaced....WD are very good hard drives the 7200 rpm is pretty fast"

"Works fine as a data/storage drive...Note that is is a 5400 RPM drive, so I wouldn't use this as a boot drive. ...5400 RPM Drive - Good Price...Good drive but is 5400 RPM. Use for backup drive."

"Fast, High Quality Drive...I purchased two Seagate - Barracuda 2 TB (7200 RPM) drives for backing up data from my main workstation. ...Perfect 7200 rpm hard drive!...Performs exactly as advertised with the 7200 rpm. Using it to store recordings from a FIOS DVR and it's working perfectly!"

"Not the fastest drive around......Internally it seems to be a 5400 rpm hdd, so it's a bit slow, but it's decent value for the price....This is a good idea for expanding Xbox One X storage. It's just a 5400 RPM hard drive, but it does the trick for my Xbox!"

"Nice little hard drive. A bit smaller than earlier My Passport drives, even though it has a larger capacity. ...Good portable hard drive...It would be even better if disk speed was at 7200 RPM."

"Decent bulk-storage portable drive...A perfect drive would use USB C and have a 7200 RPM internal drive. ...This is a standard portable HDD. It is a 5400 RPM drive so that limits the data transfer speeds. "

"A bit slow for nowadays thought the capacity is the contemporary one. It's not the 7200 rpm certainly. Forget it. It's the 5700 rpm one(still not the fastest experienced in this class writing speed). ...Hot, Loud, and Fast. It may be a 7200 rpm drive....Some say that the WD80EDAZ inside this enclosure is actually spinning at 7200 rpm, which it might be since the sequential performance of this drive closely matches that of my Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm. https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/ikk0rv/psa_multiple_wd_5400rpm_drives_are_actually/ On one hand this is WD and their screwed up, misleading marketing (See: SMR drives sold as CMR drives).
