it depends on more then rotational speed.

The Rotational speed and latency time is related as follows:

Latency time = (1/((Rotational Speed in RPM)/60)) * 0.5 * 1000 milli seconds

The current platter rotation rate of a modern hard disk drive is?

7200rpm


For the Western Digital Hard Drives how to I know if I need 5400RPM or 7200RPM?

7200rpm will provide faster read and write speed.


What is rotational latency time?

Rotational latency time refers to the delay experienced while waiting for the desired sector of a rotating storage medium, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), to come under the read/write head. It is a component of access time, which also includes seek time and transfer time. The average rotational latency can be calculated as half the time it takes for one complete rotation of the disk. This latency is influenced by the rotational speed of the disk, typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).


Why Intel Pentium 3 doesnt support 80gb hard disk?

Depending on your computer's BIOS, it might support or not a 7200RPM hard disk drive. Usually a Pentium 3 should support 7200RPM hard disks. I personally own a 800MHz Pentium 3 with a 160GB ATA hard drive and it worked without updating the BIOS(last updated in February 2000). So, a Pentium 3 should support newer hard drives but make sure your BIOS is at least from 1999 or 2000 since I don't think a 1995 or 1996 BIOS can handle a 7200RPM hard drive.


Is it really important to have a Hard Drive with faster rotation speed?

It depends on the make and model of the Hard Drive. Normally the spin speed does control how fast you can access a certain part of a track, but it also depends on how fast your seek time it. If you have poor seek time, your rotation speed doesnt mean anything.


What is rotational latency?

Rotational latency refers to the time it takes for the desired data sector on a spinning hard disk drive (HDD) to rotate into position under the read/write head. It is a component of the overall access time, along with seek time, and is influenced by the speed of the disk's rotation, typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Lower rotational latency is associated with faster disk speeds, resulting in quicker data retrieval. In modern computing, solid-state drives (SSDs) have largely mitigated this issue due to their lack of moving parts.


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.
