LaCie offers more than one external hard drive with 1TB of disk space. According to the product specifications on the LaCie website, most of the 1TB external hard drives have a rotational speed of 5400 per minute.
Common current values are 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm, and 10000 rpm. However, these are not the only possible values.
a revolution is not a speed. when it says its 5400 RPM(revolutions per minate) it is saying how many times a minate it spins. a revolution is a full turn (360 degrees).
No, the speed of the hard drive depends on the rpms the hard drive runs at. RAM has nothing to do with it.
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.

Replacing the hard drive with a SSD (Solid state drive) would improve performance.
I don't know, you tell me!
The capacity of the hard drive has no bearing on performance. The rotational speed of the drive, as well as the size of it's cache, however, do often have a noticeable impact.
I'm buying a 13in MacBook Pro, 8gb of RAM. It's for my son, and he needs it for school, and for gaming. He isn't much of a hardcore gamer, but I was wondering if I should get the 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm version, or the 750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm [Add $100.00] version. Any suggestions?
Only as fast as its CPU. Doesn't matter the size of the hard drive - the hard drive does not determine processor speed.
