What are three current ratings for spindle speed for a magnetic hard drive?
Common current values are 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm, and 10000 rpm. However, these are not the only possible values.
What are the two most popular spindle speeds measured in RPMs currently used for hard drives?
5400 and 7200 RPM's. For all you studying to be 25B's its on page 328 in an orange chart.
Is there a big difference between 4200 rpm and 5400 rpm in computers Enough to notice in the performance of the computer?
Yes, you will see a difference in performance, read tests and write tests. As rule, 5400 rpm hard drives are faster and perform better.
What is rpm FOR 520 gb?
That depends, is a a 520 SATA for a notebook or Desktop. Most notebooks have a 5400 RPM, though you can purchase 7200 RPM drives. Desktops are generally 7200, but can go to 10000 RPM. SCSI drives, which 520 isn't usually, can also go to 15000 RPM.
What is the Difference between 7200 rpm HD and 10000 rpm HD?
A 7200 RPM hdd spins at 7200 RPM, 10000 RPM spins at (you guessed it) 10000 RPM. A 10000 RPM HDD should transfer data faster than a 7200, and apart from the WD "Raptor" series most 10000 RPM HDDs are high end SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) drives, and as such are built to a higher standard than IDE (Internal Drive Electronics) or SATA (Serial AT Attachment) drives.
What is the difference between 2 different 500GB 5400 rpm IDE hard drives?
Without more information, there is not enough to conclude that there even is a difference.
What is hard disk RPM speed range?
The most common range is 5400-7200 rpm. There are also 10000 and 15000 rpm drives. Solid state drives do not operate on the same principals as disk drives, and do not spin at all.
Would you notice a difference between a hard drive with 7200 RPM and a hard drive with 4200 RPM I want make sure I get a very fast laptop.?
Yes you would notice a difference. Also, if you can get a HD with a better cache, you would notice a difference as well.
Is 5400 rpm cp harddrive as fast as 7200 rpm H-D?
Most likely, no. A 7200 RPM hard drive will have faster seek times and faster transfer rates. The most important thing, however, is that you've got enough memory and the right kind of operating system to reduce paging the memory into the hard drive. On Windows XP, I decided to completely disable the page file to speed things up. When you've got your paging under control, RPM shouldn't be too much of an issue. If you plan using the HD only for storage, I'd say 5400 RPM is enough.
Is it possible to buy a hard drive for a laptop that spins at the higher speed of 7200 rpm?
Currently the fastest speeds are 10000 rpm for most available Hard drives. This only generally indicates that a HDD is superior, although you'd not pick a 5400 rpm drive because it would be slow.
What four speed in revolutions per minute might the spindle inside a hard drive rotate?
Common current values are 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm, and 10000 rpm. However 3600 rpm was very common for a number of years.
A typical RPM speed for a PC hard drive?
7200 rpm is quite common.
