Understanding Hard Drive RPM

當存取一堆細檔案嘅時候，硬碟每讀完一個檔案就要搜尋下一個檔案嘅位置，而5400rpm同7200rpm嘅分別在於搜尋速度，5400rpm相對於搜尋速度較7200rpm慢好多，對讀 ...

7200 RPM drives are more faster, yes, but I like the fact that 5400 RPM drives are quitter, less power hungry, and more reliable.

5400 RPM drives offer an average of 100 MB/s read and write speeds, while 7200 RPM drives deliver an average of 120 MB/s read and write speeds.

5400 even has some advantages like less noise and often less heat. Seek time will be higher, linear speeds will be lower for given storage ...

A 7200 RPM is going to read faster than the 5400 because of the spindle speed, however a lot of benching has been shown to show that the benefits are minimal.

7200 RPM is definitely faster than 5400 RPM as RPM means Rotation Per Minute and the more fast the disk can rotate the more quickly data can be ...

Storage Speed: 7200RPM will be considerably faster than 5400RPM, You will notice it. 5400RPM is really outdated these days. RAM: 8GB is a lot, ...

I've definitely noticed my 7200 RPM drives are significantly louder and hotter than their 5400 RPM stablemates but all my future drive purchases ...
