What is the maximum RPM of a hard disk drive?

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.


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.


What speeds do hard drives operate at?

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).


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 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.

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.
