Thing load faster like auto play dvds and when you burn a CD RW, DVD RW
For internal hard drives, the highest I've seen being sold were up to 15000 RPM. Usually hard drives that come with computers pre-installed are at 7200 RPM so it's more than double that.
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.
The fastest hard drives I have seen have 15K rpms. You will not like the price though. Western digital makes affordable 10K that are called Velocirator. It is the fastest consumer level hard drives (it is used for server applications too).
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.
Definately
Theres a number of different speedsOlder drives spin at 5400RPMThe average drive spins at 7200RPMNewer, 1TB SATA drives spin at 10,000RPMHight performance drives (File Servers, Web Hosting ec) spin at 15,000RPM
IDE hard disk, SCSI hard disk, SATA hard disk, External hard disk, it is also differ by RPM speed for the HADD. I hope that helpes.
Macs only use standard hard drives such as the 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive found in many Macs.

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.
The HP 8530w laptop can be configured with any of the following hard drives: 120 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB, or 500 GB 5400 rpm SATA II, 160 GB, or 250 GB 7200 rpm SATA II, 80 GB Solid State Drive
The RPM of your hard drive. A 7000RPM drive is faster than a 5000RPM drive, and an SSD is faster than all Platter hard drives.
